“Dating Apps: Space of Vulnerability and Terror” Artist Discussion with 2FIK

November 7 @ 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm EST

Free

Thursday, November 7  |  5 – 7 PM  |  Now Studios

In this talk, 2Fik will delve into the realm of dating apps, self-representation, and gender performance. Drawing from his 2021 artistic project, “Romance ain’t dead, 2Fik!,” where he portrayed 100 characters on his own web-based dating app, 2Fik will discuss the results of his exploration. He will share his experiences, both online and during the eight-day live performance, where he brought characters to life through face-to-face dates. This presentation will delve into the vulnerabilities and terrors of online dating, prompting reflections on questions of authenticity, performance, self-perception, and self-representation.
