DOP[ ]MINE

[Testo disponibile solo in inglese] DOP[ ]MINE is a live audiovisual performance that explores dopamine, reward mechanisms and the economy of attention within contemporary digital culture.

The work focuses on the continuous cycle produced by digital stimulation: anticipation, reward, brief gratification, repetition and fatigue. Social media, entertainment platforms and algorithmic systems are treated as environments designed around this recurring search for stimulation.

Sound and image evolve as a single system. Rhythmic repetition, glitches, granular textures, generative structures and moments of saturation or absence construct an audiovisual environment that moves between attraction and overload.

Rather than illustrating dopamine scientifically, DOP[ ]MINE uses its mechanisms as a conceptual framework to examine how digital interfaces, repetition and instant gratification affect perception, attention and behaviour.
