TechnoLove Series

The Techno-Love Series is an immersive performance and wearable sculpture project that explores connection, embodiment, and collective healing through movement, sound, and woven form. The work activates thirty handwoven cocoons in a shared audiovisual environment, brought to life by thirty dancers giving a collective dance performance. Moving together to the pulse of techno music, the dancers enter a shamanic rhythm — one that invites release, presence, and emotional transformation. For me, dance becomes a contemporary ritual, a space where bodies gather, dissolve boundaries, and reconnect through vibration and breath.

Each cocoon is constructed using traditional weaving techniques and ropes reclaimed from the 2016 MoMA PS1 exhibition Weaving the Courtyard. The forms are inspired by sensory pressure vests, which use weight and compression to calm overstimulated nervous systems. I am drawn to this language of containment and care. The cocoons hold the body in a protective embrace while allowing freedom of movement, offering a paradox of shelter and liberation.

Encased within these woven structures, participants are invited to let go of self-consciousness and external judgment. The work resists the notion of art as something to be passively observed; instead, it asks to be worn, danced, and felt. Through Techno-Love, weaving becomes a living, relational act — one that honors the body as both vessel and site of healing, play, and collective joy.
