In my multidisciplinary work I investigate the acceleration and digitalization in our current society and how our human body relates to the ever faster changing world. The human body plays an important role in the project Password; a curse or a blessing? Where I portray this ambivalence by literally making myself vulnerable.
The jacquard woven tapestry (size 200 x 150 cm) is entitled ‘My Future, to Pixelate?’
This edited photo originally comes from the photo series ‘Password; A curse or a blessing?’ made in collaboration with photographer I. Zijp.
My body is covered with painted passwords received from followers on SoMe. My hand and leg are partly absorbed by digital noise. A technical storage – glitching – provided the inspiration for this digital noise. The shadow in the background changes into an absorbing energy.
If you stand very close to this tapestry, you see a completely different color image than from a distance. Up close you can see that the fabric flows from red, blue, yellow, green, magenta and black yarns. It looks like the color build-up of pixels on the screen.
In collaboration with and woven by EE Exclusive Label (Heeze).
