theoneandthemany takes its point of departure from The Conscience of a Hacker (1986) by Loyd Blankenship, a manifesto that articulated the voice of the early digital underground. The work reimagines this text as a sonic structure rather than a spoken declaration, exploring the shifting relation between individuality and collectivity within technological systems.

​

The performance is driven by a motion sensor connected to a table, transforming the surface into a tactile interface, a tap machine like object that activates and modulates fragments of the manifesto. Through gesture, text becomes rhythm, data becomes pulse, and language turns into mechanical resonance.
