This generative audiovisual work is about the way we encounter ourselves and our bodies in the digital landscape. Both the 3D model and the image constitute an instance of physical existence in the world, captured and replicated by a digital mechanism, forever stored by a machine. This video imagines the surreal place these instances go and how they collide to embody a metaphysical sense of self.
