Developed beside anthropologists, queer activists and specialists of anticipation – psychics, meteorologists, statisticians, science-fiction writers, etc -, the TRKTV research project takes hold on a collective reading of Donna Haraway’s Cyborg Manifesto, towards a musical and performative translation of its socio-political endeavors.
It stems out from a desire to invent and experiment, thanks to the conjoint means of electronic music, documentary and performance, the artistic, cultural, political or sexual practices of an imagined cyborg body. It unfolds in the frame of THEORY CONCERTS, live electronic music performances halfway between the lecture, the concert and the sound installation performed live by Gerald Kurdian.
