Wouldn’t it be time to consider the value of the teaching that machines of

——— ■ Rocio Berenguer: G5 (closing performance of the Biennial) G5 is at the crossroads of dance with connected plants, cyborg-animals and mineral movements, of bacteriological attacks and political speeches of another kind. This project attempts, through science fiction, another possible scenario of our future and opens the field of utopia still remaining to be built. Our economic system is at war with our planet, maybe giving the status of legal entities and subjects to non-human living beings could be a way to respect other forms of life on Earth. Isn’t inviting you to an international inter-species summit to negotiate the future governance of the

Do you use Amazon? Do you use Facebook? Do you use Apple? Do you use Netflix, Twitter, Instagram, Microsoft…? Have you read their General Terms of Use before accepting them? Careful if you say yes, we will question you. So? No, you haven’t read them, have you? That’s what we thought. The CGU performance, at the crossroads of NetArt and theatre, is an absurd (yet essential) attempt to read to the public the GAFA’s General Terms of Use in their full
