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.

Oui. Là, je trouve qu’il y a de l’idée. Des individus profondément transformés (à moins qu’il ne s’agissent de combinaisons), sur une Terre profondément transformée aussi, continuent à goûter au plaisir du bain de pied. Changer l’humain pour conserver l’essentiel.
Tiens! Ca me fait penser à une autre interprétation de la phrase de Lampedusa : “Tout changer pour que rien ne change” (Il gattopardo).
Par contre, l’aspect très visible de la composition numérique me gène un peu.

Yes. There, I find that there is some idea. Profoundly transformed individuals (unless there’re suits), on Earth also profoundly transformed, continue to appeciate the pleasure of a feet’s bath. Changing the human being to preserve the essential part.
Hm… That gives me another interpretation of this sentence by Lampedusa: ” To change everything so that nothing changes ” (Il gattopardo).
On the other hand, I don’t like very much the very visible aspect of the digital composition.
