Jan Rozmann "wetware"

Digital control systems have long since become embedded in tissues, organs, and movements. Technology is no longer an external tool, but rather part of our physical structure. In “WETWARE,” Jan Rozman combines stand-up comedy, dance, and theory into a self-examination that is as dark as it is humorous in the age of surveillance capitalism. Drawing on Elon Musk, the psychopolitical theories of Byung-Chul Han, and his own body, he explores the pressure to optimize and the feeling of never being enough. With dark humor and choreographic precision, “WETWARE” portrays humans as a network of smart devices—constantly caught between what we can do and what we must do.

In “WETWARE,” Jan Rozman combines stand-up comedy, dance, and theory into a cynical self-examination in the age of surveillance capitalism. Drawing on Elon Musk, the psychopolitical theories of Byung-Chul Han, and his own body, he explores the pressure to optimize and the feeling of never being enough. With dark humor and choreographic precision, “WETWARE” portrays humans as a network of smart devices—constantly oscillating between what we can do and what we must do.
