[Text available only in English] “S.E.L.F.” investigates contemporary feeling within human relationships mediated by technology and, more deeply, the transformation of the relationship between human beings and digital infrastructure. Through an interplay of figurative and abstract elements, the work explores how platforms, algorithms, and optimization systems shape emotions, perception, proximity, and distance.

Technology does not appear as a mere tool, but as a relational environment that molds desire, dependency, adaptation, and identity. The work focuses on the affective dimension of this coexistence: on what is lost, amplified, or reconfigured when human experience is constantly translated, mediated, and returned as information.

Through the use of real data that quantify human and digital interactions—made explicit and visible to the viewer—the audiovisual performance constructs a real-time dramaturgy in which two bodies inhabit a space permeated by this information. The data become an active, declared presence, transforming the stage into a device that makes the measurement, translation, and optimization of relationships perceptible.

What emerges is an embodied and ambiguous human–technology relationship, where intimacy and extraction, participation and dependency coexist within the same gesture.
