It’s a new era: our nervous system seems to have grown out of our body and extended into space, interconnecting with other systems and at the same time, losing its own shape. In cyberspace, our body not longer contains us. We’re a cumulous of generic information –pictures, likes, comments- associated to a name that could or could not be real. We are image, images.
Thousands of our clones are wandering the web, replacing us. Today, the possibility of a world where our body is obsolete and our life develops only in the virtual realm isn’t far from our imaginary. So, what does it mean to face that strange body [the other] that shares and invades our space, that moves and is present? This project reflects on the new dynamics that are being created between individuals in social media.
