the indifference of the machine contiguous to the syllables of the stomach is a site-responsive ode to the spectre of a parafitional performance artwork of the same name. Combining machine learning and obsolete technologies, McKenzie invokes the spirit through a patchwork of hyperstitional media: palincestuous texts, intertextural monologues, technoturgical incursions, drawings, polaroids, choreographies, ringtones, piano concertos and deepfakes.
