ENGDouble Bind is a live research performance by artist Cem A., also known for the widely followed satirical Instagram platform Freeze Magazine, in which two speakers from different professional fields respond to the same set of questions in parallel. One speaker wears noise-isolating headphones, so they cannot hear the other. The audience witnesses both testimonies one after another. A moderator structures the session and controls the flow.Behind the speakers, a projected visualization (Dual Trace) performs real-time linguistic analysis on both transcriptions, mapping where the speakers’ vocabularies converge and diverge. The audience also has access to a live companion website with additional data from the performance.This special edition of Double Bind at RAW'26 will focus on the subject of relationships, explored through both interpersonal and geopolitical perspectives. The discussion will bring together Kristīne Balode — a clinical psychologist, relationship and sexuality therapist — and Tomass Pildegovičs — Advisor on Security and Societal Resilience to the Latvian Minister of Foreign Affairs, as well as a researcher in international relations and strategic communications. The conversation will be moderated by Josh Spero, Wealth Editor at the Financial Times.The format positions the audience as active researchers rather than passive spectators. There are no winners, no correct answers, and no consensus to reach. The goal is to observe how two people, asked the same questions without hearing each other, arrive at overlapping or divergent language, frameworks, and assumptions. Double Bind is not a debate, a panel, or an interview. The structural constraint (two people answering the same questions without hearing each other) is the work.LV„Double Bind“ ir mākslinieka Cem A., kurš plašāk pazīstams arī saistībā ar satīrisko Instagram platformu Freeze Magazine, pētniecības performance, kurā divi runātāji no dažādām profesionālajām jomām vienlaikus atbild uz vienu un to pašu jautājumu kopumu. Viens no runātājiem ir uzvilcis trokšņu izolējošas austiņas, tāpēc viņš nevar dzirdēt otru. Skatītāji dzird abas liecības viena pēc otras. Moderators strukturē sesiju un vada tās gaitu.Aiz runātājiem projicēta vizualizācija (Dual Trace) veic abu transkripciju lingvistisko analīzi reālajā laikā, atainojot, kur runātāju vārdnīcas sakrīt un atšķiras. Skatītājiem ir pieejama arī tiešsaistes papildu vietne ar papildus datiem no izrādes.Šī īpašā „Double Bind” izrāde festivālā RAW’26 pievērsīsies attiecību tēmai, to aplūkojot gan starppersonu, gan ģeopolitiskā perspektīvā. Diskusijā piedalīsies Kristīne Balode — klīniskā psiholoģe, attiecību un seksualitātes terapeite — un Tomass Pildegovičs — Latvijas ārlietu ministra padomnieks drošības un sabiedrības noturības jautājumos, kā arī starptautisko attiecību un stratēģiskās komunikācijas pētnieks. Sarunu vadīs Josh Spero, Financial Times redaktors.Šis formāts ļauj klausītājiem būt aktīviem pētniekiem, nevis pasīviem skatītājiem. Šeit nav uzvarētāju, pareizo atbilžu un vienprātības, par ko vienoties. Mērķis ir novērot, kā divi cilvēki, kuriem tiek uzdoti vieni un tie paši jautājumi, nedzirdot viens otru, nonāk pie pārklājošām vai atšķirīgām valodām, ietvariem un pieņēmumiem.Double Bind nav debates, paneļdiskusija vai intervija. Struktūras ierobežojums (divas personas atbild uz vieniem un tiem pašiem jautājumiem, nedzirdot viena otru) ir pats darbs.
