What is being, with technology? And what lines can be drawn to distinguish yourself from it? In this series of works, the relationship between technology and aspects of personhood is examined repeatedly within wide ranging domains of self-identification from working life to care, and being past death.
The promise of tech to alleviate the physical strain of working life appears largely to have been subverted by some sleight of hand, trading brutality for erosion, and manufacturing a dualistic trade-off between mind and body in which the conservation of the latter has given ground to the unsustainable, exhaustive engagement of the former. Consequently, resources previously available to question the status quo are altogether consumed by the tedium of working life and attention capital as a result of constant connectivity and terminal “onlineness”. We’ve settled for less than we desired and let our online personas pick up the slack.

Dasha Ilina is a Russian techno-critical artist based in Paris, France. Through the employment of low tech and DIY approaches her work highlights the nebulous relationship between our desire to incorporate modern technologies into our daily lives and proposed social imperatives for care of oneself and others. Her practice engages the public in order to facilitate a space for the development of critical thought regarding our modern day relationships, privacy in the digital age, and the reflexive contemporary desire to turn to technology for answers. She is the founder of the Center for Technological Pain, a project that proposes DIY solutions to health problems caused by digital technologies for which she has received an Honorary Mention at Ars Electronica. Ilina’s work has been exhibited at institutions such as Centre Pompidou (FR), MU Artspace (NL), Gaîté Lyrique (FR), Hartware Medienkunstverein Dortmund (DE), NeMe (CY), as well as various talks, workshops, and performances held internationally. She is also the co-director of NØ SCHOOL, a summer school that focuses on critical research around the social and environmental impacts of information and communication technologies.
