As our bodies are submerged in the mysterious abstract territory of cybernetic neoliberalism, in constant change and adaptability, we begin to show our malleability. We adapt to a present marked by the (in)visibility of technological communication devices. We carry in our bodily landscape a collective organ of cybernetic capitalism. As we disconnect from this global organ, our emptied bodies fragment and resemble the ancient vessels of the pre-Columbian cultures of the Andean highlands. Through coiling, slabbing and polishing techniques, we connect with our ancestry, the present and the future. Our empty body of the cybernetic organ invites us to reflect on technological power and privacy in a controlled world where the line of freedom is blurred. We can shed our bodily armour and explore the limits of our cultural autonomy in this digital colonisation, using clay as a vehicle for reflection.
