As part of ManiFeste-2022 at Centre Pompidou, presented by Ircam 

Anima™, his multimedia theatre, is the name of an institution in which visitors enter into contact with their own past and probable future. The performers, "patients" in this institute, follow a scenario that is delivered in real time. It has all been elaborated from real data for the Ensemble Decoder performers, in an ongoing process of transformation and alienation.

An institute for self-optimization. A church for transcendence. A simulation space for the bored escapist. A therapy session for the traumatized self. An iteration loop to break the pattern. Which pattern? The pattern. The pattern of self. The pattern of the subject. The pattern of internal world building:
This framing is clear.
