Stone and flesh, blood or electric circuit, feet on the ground versus data in the cloud. From automaton to avatar, artists reflect on the tension between our own individual, physical bodies and the animated, virtual body.
We love statues, though we resist the urge to become one. Refusing to be set in stone, we might need the carnal reminder of fleshy sensuality to snap us back to where we should be.
Post-screening discussion with Peter Samson, James Thompson and Rhian Cooke.
