A performance practice by Todd Kliewer

Threads
are scenes.

A bounded Facebook thread becomes a source field. Todd Kliewer turns it into an embodied performance and a human-authored scene map with consent, provenance, and correction attached.

Comment-Section Cinema

A comment is never only a comment.

It carries context, status, performance, fear, humor, ideology, refusal, repair, and the pressure of a watching room.

Leaky Kliewer stages that hidden structure. The thread is the rehearsal room. Todd's embodied return is the performance. The scene map is the accountable record.

01

Scene Maps

Visual works that trace how a live thread is pulled by claims, people, audiences, interfaces, and stakes.

02

Performance Systems

Experiments with a performer-owned synthetic double. A rig for staging variation, never a replacement performer.

03

Texts

Writing on acting, public speech, labor, consent, controlled illusion, and the human right to final cut.

Method / House rule 01

I map patterns,
not souls.

A scene map is an authored interpretation, not a diagnosis and not an objective measurement. It keeps its source, choices, uncertainty, and authorship visible enough to question.

  • No diagnosis
  • No humiliation engine
  • No invented evidence
  • No automatic publication

The rig and the performer

The human keeps final cut.

Todd Kliewer is the actor, author, editor, and veto point. AI may assist the rig. It does not own the work, speak independently, or make the final decision.

Leaky Kliewer is the embodied art practice within the Leaky family. Leaky OS develops the wider research and invention system. Each keeps its own role; both keep human authority, correction, and provenance visible.
