The idea behind these three nights is to give the internet a body, I spend so much time isolated online that I crave the blood, smell, joy and comfort of others, but also I want a space where those bodies can perform rites, rituals, liturgies. Increasingly I feel that the only distinction between machine and human intelligence is our corporeal self, not in the sense that consciousness can only be embodied—maybe—but that our bodies carry a different kind of knowledge, call it gnosis, that must be heeded. It’s the body that tells you when you are in the right place, time, and company.
