The Social Sorting Experiment
You will experience the manipulative power of digital platforms during this absurdist and interactive performance! Don’t forget your smartphone!
Are you an influencer, or are you a troll still hiding in the closet? Or a cat lover maybe, and addiction-prone perhaps? Your likes reveal everything about you and they are used to manipulate you into buying and watching things, and may even influence what party you vote for. In ’The Social Sorting Experiment’ people in the audience experience first hand the manipulative power of digital platforms during an absurdist and interactive performance in which theater, gaming, and music are joined, and in which you and your smartphone play a leading role. And while you’re at it, who knows, you may well make some ‘good old analog friends’ the old-fashioned way!
Join one of the three sessions:
- 19:45 – 20:30 hrs.
- 21:15 – 22:00 hrs.
- 22:45 – 23:30 hrs.
Be on time because full is full. And don’t forget your smartphone! This experience is produced by The Smartphone Orchestra.
