A lecture-performance video, I am sitting in a Zoom revises Alvin Lucier’s 1969 minimalist sound work for the context of pandemic capitalism, far right (attempted) coup, and the cybernetics from below of the George Floyd Uprising.

I am sitting in a Zoom is a recursive reflection on the aesthetics and politics of platform capitalism in a state of social reproductive emergency and 'polycrisis'. Among other things it attempts a brief historicisation of the history of feedback in experimental art and (post)neoliberal politics, 'grounding' the issue of cybernetics back in its real movement: de/valorisation.

Commissioned for 'Dysfunctionalities in Contempory Art in Times of Conflict', a 2-day online conference organised by EKATE, Nicosia, Cyprus in March 2021.
