Cats rule the Internet. An endless stream of images and videos, memes, vines and gifs, create the most viewed content online.
Through video, live camera and a hyper detailed movement language, Dagmar Dachauer and video artist Kilian Immervoll, sharing the stage, explore interactions between humans, cats and robotic pet equivalents – using the elusive Internet cat as a vantage point. They reflect on the changing relationship between the human and the non-human, the wild and the domestic, the natural and the technologized. Hovering between humour and the uncanny valley, they touch a hidden snare: the ongoing search for companionship and comfort.
