Title: Polysemy Machine (2020).

Artist: Konstantinos Papacharalampos (London).

Concept: Texts in newspapers websites or on smartphone screens are a powerful tool for quickly manipulating a politically charged reality – especially when Twitter and other social media platforms influence democracies globally. ‘Polysemy Machine’ assesses the situation, with its outcome being informed by the reader/performer.

Bio: Konstantinos Papacharalampos (London) uses the body and language to create experiences, objects, and environments of mutating futures.
