Eva Davidova explores behavior, ecological disaster, and the political implications of technology through performative works rooted in the absurd. She works with the human gesture and expression as a way to “mix” with, and disrupt technologies, and use the failures in these technologies to reclaim them. Davidova has exhibited at the Bronx Museum, the UVP at Everson Museum, the AKG Buffalo Art Museum, MACBA Barcelona, CAAC Sevilla, La Regenta, ISSUE Project Room, Harvestworks, Instituto Cervantes, and the Museum of the Moving Image in NYC.
“‘Audience As Virus’ is an ongoing research and an interactive immersive installation-performance that involves the audience in the possibility to break AI predictions of human movement and offer the public a clear capacity to intervene.
Technologies force ideas about who we are onto us, producing homogenization, classification, behavior adjustment and retrofitting. ‘Audience As Virus’ misuses ChatGPT and HMDM (Human Movement Diffusion Model) to counter replicating, mimicking and averaging movement, pushing the AIs to deviate through intentional (and visible to the audience) complications, producing a growing database of texts by choreographers and dancers.”
