disarming is a performative exploration of the relationship between a detached robot arm, an artificial environment, and a human performer. A collaborative learning and unlearning of locomotions in post-anthropocentric environments and times. The work playfully explores the ambiguity of disarming as a process of physical detachment and emotional attachment.
