X-Venus

This work is part of a broader series of digital sculptures integrated into Augmented Reality applications. Complexes of human bodies appear intertwined with  mechanical parts, debris, artifacts and other creatures.

Resonating with Donna Haraway’s analysis, these pieces focus on the entanglement of human activity and experience with vast ecosystems that include other living organisms as well as our own material infrastructures and tools. Through physicality, they explore fluid modes of subjectivity that deconstruct the male agent, often concealed behind the universal label of 'human’, and approach relationality through the lens of vulnerability rather than dominion.

Moreover, they can be seen as attempts to engage with hapticality through a virtual lens, reflecting on the ways in which the tangible is mediated through various interfaces in our contemporary reality.
