Number. 3 (2022)

During a performance festival, Number.3 follows a life-size puppet as it navigates the event as an audience member. It moves through the festival, watching performances, engaging with other attendees, and experiencing the atmosphere of the space. A GoPro embedded in its eyes captures its perspective, livestreaming its encounters and reactions. Blending puppetry and technology, Analogous invites audiences to witness the puppet’s journey, questioning the boundaries between performer and spectator. Through social media, it shares its experiences, while public interactions become material for exploring cultural perceptions of presence, agency, and non-human spectatorship in live performance settings.
