Life is what happens while we’re looking at our phones. Soon we won’t need to read or speak, just know how to howl. La mano que trina is a collection of samples-rebellion against the dark side of technology, against “techno-paranoia”, the religion of the selfie, “techno-pathologies”, digital dementia, planned obsolescence, e-waste, and “post-humanism”. La mano que trina is a trashy, video-guerilla black mirror. The artists focuses her discourse on the complex relationships between human beings and technology, and how it affects the spheres of their personal, social, and work lives.
