Digital Bodies
The arrival of virtual environments and augmented realities have had a distinct impact on the way we interact with the world. These types of simulations cause new relationships between the observer and what is being observed and affect our senses and experiences in ways that are more dramatic and monumental than ever before.
The Digital Bodies series considers what the future world might be like, both visually and experientially, when the real and the virtual collide. The hybrid of synthetic and organic realities is already underway, and the effects of this synthesis will reveal interesting changes in the way we go about our everyday lives. Not only will our ways of doing things change substantially but the tactility of our contact with the environment will alter as well.
There are many possibilities that we could imagine occurring in the near and distant future. The ability to control robotic entities remotely, capture, translate, and output from neural firings into language, create avatars and interact with them in virtual worlds, access directions to any location in the world through our cell phones, or even learn how busy a particular cafe is through augmented reality applications. These are minor changes; yet, they have opened up access to a more united habitat; breaking down traditional borders and opening up a network of information that is incalculably immense.
Eventually the separation between the real world and the virtual will become seamless as we slide from one mode of being into another.

From the serie “Formatting Gaia III” :
The cycle between human beings and the natural world has been transformed into a new formation that inspires intricate modes of transmitting and receiving information. Through the development of modern technologies human beings have begun to unfold the possibilities of telematic and cybernetic systems of communication. Earth is no longer a simple exchange of biological entities, but a more complex system that employs digital signal to mediate our existence within it.
Human beings, technology, and nature are now all part of a congruous system of existence that is becoming more and more visible in our landscape. Formatting Gaia depicts this world, where there is a physical connection between the three and all work in unison with one another.
These images explore an alternate version of the human existence than what we have known it to be in our short history. As opposed to being what we at times feel to be independent of nature and technology, the images show the necessity we have for them, as well as how we have used technology to steer our own genetic makeup. Photographic investigations into this world leave one with a visual depiction of the possibilities that we’ve already begun to travel toward along our evolutionary path.

Initially, the committee members have proposed to themselves the site of P. Millard as a source of reflection. We have created a form referring to this site. But at this stage we didn’t know yet if we might expose.
Then, P. Millard contacted us himself to send us some photos of his project. The photos to be assessed are those that have a specific file.
Sheets « Formating Gaia I » and « Formating Gaia II & III » referring to all the author’s site no longer counts towards the final exhibition.
