The online performance SIDE JOB, taking the form of scripted 
group critique, features a team of experts discussing an artwork
via video call and presenting it in a spoken, embodied manner 
to the observing participants (audience). These participants did 
not have physical access to the work beforehand and experience 
it solely through the words and evaluations of the critics during the call. The guiding principle of this artwork lies in its creation in 
anon-material form. 

Furthermore, the work explores and reveals the mechanisms 
at play when experts ascribe value and meaning 
to a piece of art, all within a setting of endless constraints 
and coercion - one that makes everyone hyper-visible as they are mirrored by the screen and continuously exposed and displayed, both alone and in relation to others. Performativity on the screen, 
the staging of the self, group and power dynamics, hierarchy and repetitive gestures emerge as insurmountable, recurring codes of this environment.
