In day-to-day understanding, to fail is to have a lack of success, deficiency of desirable qualities or being in a state of “not functioning”. To fail would also stand for disappointing oneself or others, and not achieving someone’s goals. To fail is therefore a consequence of a pre-existing right or wrong.
Project.Fail is a piece composed by two humans, one machine and multiple viewers. Somewhere on borders between the virtual and analog worlds, the performers behave sometimes as humans and sometimes as avatars in a game of losing/gaining power and control. By relating to each other as well as to the invisible machine, they propose a situation for questioning the ways humanity lives and the choices that brought us to our current crises and failures.
