Operator's Act III: Live Screening

​On November 21 at 10:00 am, NODE will join a cohort of museums and institutions around the world for a live broadcast of Act III, the third and final act of Human Unreadable (2023-2026) by Operator, performed at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York. We invite you to experience the work together, in a shared space, in real time.

​Since its conception in 2022, ACT III has found new ways to ask how much of a body survives its translation into code, and its conceptual arc has always been the slow recovery of the human.

​Merging choreography and code, ACT III relies on a library of dance movements and a generative choreography method stored on the Ethereum blockchain. Act III is an 80-minute multimedia performance using dance sequences #2–101 from the Human Unreadable collection as the raw choreographic material, woven together through scripted dialogue, lighting and scenic design, performance art, and set to an original score.

​The broadcast is conceived as an artwork in its own right, with footage edited and altered in real time as the performance unfolds.

Doors open at 9:30. Please arrive early. Seating will be limited.
