Diana Niepce, Puneet Jain
At the intersection of performance, technology, and disability, Diana Niepce and Puneet Jain find common ground to rethink bodies, normativities, and technology. Disability relationship technologies have emerged proposing the improvement of physical performance; however, another perspective is possible. Based on crip theory — a critical approach that destabilises ableist discourses by crossing disability, gender, and sexuality — this conversation aims to question: who after all, needs to be ‘improved’?
Diana Niepce is a Portuguese choreographer and writer who has challenged the canons of contemporary dance with creations such as Enfreakment and Norma. Puneet Jain is an artist and engineer. He investigates how emerging technologies — from Extended Reality to Artificial Intelligence — can be reprogrammed, hacking normative platforms to create immersive narratives that restore agency to historically marginalised bodies.
