Rika is finally home, but somehow, it doesn't feel like it anymore.
A rework of the new iPhone 15 commercial featuring a singing wall socket. In place of the machine loneliness of the original, a different song from the early Vito Acconci playbook. A direct address to the viewer/listener from a virtual assistant. The new ambient intelligence promises security, rapid response, predictive analysis, microgeneration, efficiency. Here it delivers funwashing messages from the cloud for users in a performative essay on domotics. Talk back from the data harvest and Orwell’s “never sleeping ear.” To challenge them is to “fight the future.”

On a rainy afternoon in Mexico City, Gonzalo, a young man from Sonora, burdened by grief and distance, takes refuge on a park bench. There he meets Yolitzli, a deaf young woman from Oaxaca. Through gestures, silence, and falling rain, an unexpected bond emerges between them, transforming the way they communicate and reminding him that true listening reaches far beyond the ears.
Millstone takes its cue from the workers’ steady, exact grinding—motion as endurance. Projection, workshop tools and mirrors made during the Cultural Revolution assemble into a site-responsive “vision machine” that settles inside the workshop and learns its rhythm. The objects collaborate, but they also scrape and strain against one another, marking the space with traces—of desire, of longing. Out of this labouring friction, a live-captured interactive image is projected back into the room, calling up a spectre of shared memory.
