Synopsis
"Body Proxy" speculates that AI’s coming instrumentalization of the world will necessitate human embodiment. The installation is framed as corporate onboarding - part casting call, part IPO (“Initial Person Offering”) in which recruits enter a market where their physical agency is the asset. Assessed by AIs treating the body as a peripheral device, participants enact algorithmic choreographies where props are test vectors and compliance is a site of improvisation. Collapsing the gig-economy and agentic tool-use, the piece questions a future in which the human is not a user, but an interface - wetware executing commands the software cannot.
