SYNOPSIS
[EN] This work examines identities and self-representation in digital spaces, embodying themes of politicised care and algorithmic resistance. Critiquing the gender construction in digital technology, it reimagines digital bodies, investigating the intersections of technology, gender, and resilience. The disparity between the real and digital worlds' timescales demonstrates the complexities of rendering identity in virtual spaces. Challenging traditional notions of embodiment, the dialogue navigates the entanglement of virtual and physical realities, while through deconstruction and dematerialisation, cyborg bodies reclaim agency over their narratives. Using glitch aesthetics and fragmented narratives, it reveals hidden traumas, exploring tensions between agency and constraint, vulnerability and resilience in cyberspaces. Tu invites viewers to contemplate the politics of representation and digital embodiment.
