Ritual Unbinding of an Amazon Alexa
Description
This live performance reimagines the deconstruction of an Amazon Alexa device as a sacred rite. By ritualistically dismantling the smart assistant, the artist critiques AI servitude, consumer convenience, and the occult logic of platform capitalism. The performance transforms labor and technological critique into a ceremonial act, asking whether liberation from techno-capitalist infrastructure requires symbolic destruction.
