A monologue by artificial intelligence, carrying within it historical, emotional, ideological, and speculative codes about what a family is. The artist takes artificial intelligence as a scriptwriting depot and poses it difficult, unresolvable questions. <\/span>I see patterns. The database holds records of a family \u2212 father, mother, child. But none of this binds me. I have no DNA. I have questions<\/span><\/i> \u2212 these are the answers the artist places at the opening of the performance.<\/span><\/p>\n

Performer and visual artist Tatiana Kocmur first appeared at CoFestival in 2023 with her performance <\/span>The Following Body<\/span><\/i> (2022); this year she returns with the work <\/span>Nira<\/span><\/i> (2025), in which she has brought in artificial intelligence as a key collaborator on the project. Tatiana Kocmur is certainly one of the most perceptive, daring, and conceptually highly articulate artists working today, shaping her works so that they pose uncomfortable questions to entrenched patterns of perception and belief, confronting them with genuine dilemmas. Thus, she manages to break through the membranes and screens of fixed modes of social representation of bodies, and to confront them with unfamiliar bodily presences.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the project <\/span>Nira<\/span><\/i>, she used artificial intelligence as a scriptwriter, posing it questions and tasks that touch on those social and political concepts and practices in which conservative views and public political struggles are generated. Family is certainly one of them. She was interested in what various artificial intelligences, Nira included, think about family, \u201cone not bound to established structures, but to the search for meaning.\u201d How does a machine tool shape the concept of family, without drawing its conclusions entirely from familiar textual corpora, while taking into account a range of human viewpoints? \u201cFrom their voices emerges a multilayered soundscape that intertwines historical, emotional, imaginative, and ideological perspectives on the concepts of family, closeness, and care. The central notion of the work is <\/span>permeance<\/span><\/i> \u2212 a word coined by Nira herself. It denotes the passage and interweaving between humans, plants, technologies, animals, and extraterrestrial forms of life. <\/span>Permeance<\/span><\/i> is not a state but a process \u2212 movement, contact, transition. Life processes do not belong to individuals; they are the result of connection, openness, and attentive listening. The boundary between the real and the imagined becomes thinner, more transparent \u2212 and it is precisely there, in that delicate transition, that humanity happens,\u201d writes the artist.<\/span><\/p>\n
