KOPPELIA – giardino13
Focus XR Suisse
Information
The performative project Koppelia_giardino13 draws inspiration from the famous ballet Coppélia, reinterpreting it through the lens of contemporary technologies and new forms of digital identity. At the heart of this research is not only the figure of the mechanical doll as an object of desire and a human replica, but also an autonomous presence: an intelligent and sensitive entity that casts an external gaze on humanity and its evolutionary path.
