Build38, Patch Release13.

 

This VR experience is a collaboration with a visual artist and was showcased at the Ecole cantonale d’art de Lausanne.

The work questions genetic determinism, representation, network infrastructure and privacy and uses a range of digital techniques to reflect about technology. Current technological approaches are characterised by an aspiration to map the world in order to achieve a full quantification of reality. The quest for a detailed acquisition allows for the reduction of the subject to mere data, a collection of commodified objects. The installation uses an array of technological tools –VR, DNA test, AI, photography– and aims to present the outcomes of a theoretical research through a personal journey.
