A SciFi performance by Karla Kracht
The Ghost in the Machine project is a complex, ongoing exploration, fragmented into several evolving chapters and formats. At its core, the performance imagines ceremonies of a future where humans no longer exist, leaving robots to carry forward distorted interpretations of our traditions —a persistent echo of what once was. This work manifests as a faux documentary, a video-object performance that intertwines drawings, sculptures, live video, light design, soundscapes, and special effects. Each object or artifact, carefully crafted, unveils peculiar rituals in a post-human world, offering an ironic yet oddly familiar reflection of how these remnants of our culture might be misinterpreted and reenacted by our mechanical successors.

Taipei City TaiwanExhibition "X or the Untitled" (work in progress)
This performative installation explores the intersection of spirituality and technology in a post-sapiens society. It features illuminated and motorized puppets, objects, and videos from my previous works, including "Divine Cyborg #17," "o.m.a.," and "Ghost in the Wall." During my two-month residency, I'll develop new experiments using sensors, lights, sound, and motors to create an immersive spectacle that will be gradually added to the exhibition.RSVP → https://forms.gle/NtgWWayxZGEmxDgS6 ←
