hard data / soft bodies (2025)

hard data / soft bodies is a multi-channel screen installation that opens a fractured portal into a world where bodies and machines collide. Across sixteen suspended screens—entangled in cables and mirrored by a reflective floor—organic forms drift: bone fragments, marrow-like blobs, disjointed fingers, and memory devices drawn into gravitational choreography. Generative in nature, the process behind this work remains open-ended—an evolving, vulnerable system where each contortion, crash, and glitch leaves a trace. This “virtual matter” resists perfection. As hardware and anatomy deform one another, the installation explores how technology shapes, compresses, and distorts the body. The mirror below doubles the scene, emphasizing the layered materiality of the digital image and echoing the recursive logic of data replication.
