When I arrived in USA I was lucky to meet two people who would influence how I collaborate and create art:
Benita de Wit & Gabriel Barcia-Colombo
I became an actor and performance-art collaborator deeply interested in the interface between Technology, Culture & Art.
Here Is A Retrospective On Some Projects We Did Together from 2013 until 2017:

  • THE SECRET SOCIETY OF FORBIDDEN LITERATURE (play video here):
    A Public Art Installation At New York Public Library’s Mid-Manhattan Branch About Banned Books. The installation offered unique modes of entry into the discussion of censored books including burned books, LED signs and custom perfumes.I played Gregor Samsa from the Forbidden book by Franz Kafka The Metamorphosis. I got to have an actual cockroach as a scene partner which I hid in my brief case.The Metamorphosis was banned in the Soviet and Nazi regimes, as well as in Kafka’s home country of Czechoslovakia due to Kafka’s preference of writing in German and not in Czech. At the time the work was criticized as decadent, despairing and denationalization.

and talk about Franz Kafka.”New York Times Review by Masha Goncharova

  • GOOGLE MADE ME DO IT:
    An Improvised “Comedy” Performance With Google Voice About Artificial Intelligence’s Increasing Access To Our Data.
    Actors performed “standard” stand-up improv comedy sports as a troupe whilst Google Voice participated in the back ground as another actor/player, interjecting, mishearing prompt words the audience would call out to the actors, and reinterpreting the actors’/players’ performances. It was held at the former Silent Barn in Conjunction with NYU TISCH.
  • AUGMENTED REALITY HAUNTED HOUSE:
    Lead by the fearless and fabulous Game Designer and Interactive Media Writer, Clio Yun-su Davis, I played a haunted dead girl in an interactive instillation piece. Audience entered a bathroom cubicle on the 2nd floor of NYU TISCH and as they were washing their hands, I emerged from the toilet seat, drenched (it was fake water to look like it had come out of a toilet), haunted, and tortured. I delivered a heat-breaking monologue about how I died a horrible fate in a bathroom stall, always to haunt the bathrooms. I then gifted each audience member with a clue for their next installation… and mystery abounds…
  • BROKEN DOLL IMMERSIVE TECHNOLOGY ART:
    Donnally Tullis’ Modeling Make Up Show In An Immersive Storytelling Land with Wiseland Entertainment and Team

  • DNA VENDING MACHINE:
    An Art Installation About Our Increasing Access To Biotechnology by TED Fellow, Gabe BC.
    My saliva made it into one of these vials and got sent to a museum to be housed in and played with 🙂
