Pemanagpo brings to SLOGANS a much needed connection to the world of contemporary performance and AI, to the connections between performance and multimedia art forms as a means to fighting the torpid befuddlement and forgetfulness of the present. As she/they puts/put it: ‘synaesthesia … is a necessary antidote to the anaesthesia of our time.’ I am very grateful to her/them for going there, so I don’t have to. And I am very happy that she/they brings/bring this sensibility to the ‘Like a virgin’ projects.
Lerie Pemanagpo (she/they), is a trans-disciplinary artist, performer and director, living in Zürich and Basel. Pemanagpo has been experimenting with sound and digital media since her/their teenage years and studied physical theatre and Jungian psychology after completing a Specialist degree (former equivalent of Masters Degree in Russia) in philosophy. Since 2021, Pemanagpo has been working as a theatrical and film director, and became an active AI researcher and beta-tester, implementing different models into art and advocating for an ethical and sustainable use of technology.
Summarising their multi-disciplinary background in art, theatre, Jungian psychology, astrology and writing, Pemanagpo calls themself “a professional fairy-taler_ess”, as the cornerstone of their work is to explore the collective myths and intimate, mystical and numinous connection with the technology.
