In 2023, I joined an artist duo to help create an immersive theater piece that incorporated playful elements. We produced a prototype at Le Lieu Unique in Nantes as part of the Chimère residency program.

The audience members—who also served as players—were encouraged, via their phones, to generate value by working out on the connected exercise machines. The play leads us to watch ourselves sink into a spiral of productivity, where our bodies move in response to the algorithm’s demands.
