Dwutygodnik Reviews “If/Then”
Dwutygodnik’s new review of If/Then highlights Feral Metaverse, the evolving new media project I produce with Theo Triantafyllidis. Here’s how we’ve been shaping this world across art, tech, and installation.
Warsaw Goes Feral!
Feral Metaverse enters Warsaw. Produced by Kniaziakidis Productions for Theo Triantafyllidis at CCA Ujazdowski Castle’s group show Jeśli/To (If/Then).
When Artists Break Tech
Technology doesn’t evolve in isolation. The most interesting shifts happen when artists step in—not to decorate interfaces or make things “creative,” but to break technology open, expose its blind spots, and rebuild it from different cultural and human perspectives.
The British Council’s new report, Why Technology Needs Artists, captures this brilliantly. It gathers 56 voices from across 24 countries, showing how artists are inventing tools and techniques that industry wouldn’t, making complex systems visible and challengeable, injecting diversity, sensitivity, and cultural depth into technological development, and designing alternate futures—beyond the logic of optimization and control—that engineers alone rarely imagine.
On Work Behind the Work
What this report does really well is name what producers actually do — not just administratively, but structurally, relationally, politically. It lays out the reality of working “in-between”: translating between artists, institutions, funders, audiences — while holding the shape and flow of the work. It’s specific to theatre in Poland, but the dynamics are familiar across the whole cultural field.
