During 2013-2016, Miyö Van Stenis explored the limits of Operating Systems. A series of live performance using her "desktop" as a creative tool, displays random errors and glitches generated through coding, Automator app and human actions. Inspired by John Cage's Prepared Piano, Van Stenis let the machine express herself till it collapse and needed to be reboot.
Continue her work on interfaces, operating systems, software, and other devices involved in everyday Internet use. She transforms them into her aesthetic material. Her interest lies in representing the relationship between humans and machines, poetry and computational science, turning her investigation into experimental work where the machine expresses itself. This serves as a hyperbolic reflection of its world, primarily as a performative action where the value lies in human action in pursuit of error, the unexpected, creating a meeting point between the human, the machine, the error, and the undeniable desire for poetic beauty.

Glitches or errors make the interaction more human, simpler, and closer to us. In art, these errors can be aesthetic wonders. The results obtained from multiple export filters and synthesizers create beautiful sound or visual textures. Sometimes the media seems to express itself through its component elements, processes, and codes. Beyond the complex problems of functionality and dysfunctionality—whether the nature of the error, a software glitch, or transfer processes and data compression—this action impacts issues such as the computer metaphor and its relationship with online identity. This action aims to push the computer to its maximum capacity until it collapses to the point where, to continue working, you must restart the session. The visuals of this process will be projected in space while the sound is performed, first through the sound system dysfunction emitted by the computer and then using software control like Pure Data. Data processing is performed using a touch screen iPod Touch connected to the computer via the OSC protocol, creating a complex dialectic of devices and software that pushes the limits of the computer to dysfunction.
