Bytes & Bites: My Digital Body
2019-2020
Performance, Digital Collage
In the ethereal realm of virtual landscapes, the physical body undergoes a metamorphosis, existing as if in an astral projection—simultaneously present yet detached. Even-Aberle's exploration in Bytes & Bites: My Digital Body intricately weaves together the corporeal and the digital, delving into the isolating nature of the virtual world and the subtle complexities that emerge when the physical body encounters the digitized landscape.
This performative endeavor extends beyond the conventional boundaries of the body in space, tapping into the kinesthetic nuances of engaging with a desolate and empty virtual landscape. As Even-Aberle physically interacts with the digital terrain, the photograph disrupts the traditional three-dimensional space, flattening and subverting the contours of the physical body. The resultant disruption gives rise to a new body, a novel landscape that exists solely within the virtual domain—a space that mirrors the desolation often found in the digital realm.
The synthesis of kinesthetic exploration and photographic manipulation forms a symbiotic relationship, generating a dichotomy between the tangible and the ephemeral. The physical body's engagement with the land becomes a performance that transcends the conventional limitations of physicality, as the photograph translates this corporeal experience into a two-dimensional, virtual representation. This disruption metamorphoses the body and the landscape into a hybrid entity—a virtual embodiment that challenges traditional notions of connection.
In the act of decoding and recreating, the virtual space becomes a canvas for collaging, weaving together fragments of the physical body and the digital landscape to forge a new ephemeral understanding of connection. Even-Aberle's exploration prompts a contemplation of the intricate dance between the tangible and the digitized, inviting viewers to reconsider their relationship with the virtual realm and the transformative potential it holds for reshaping our perceptions of the self and connection in a technologically saturated world. "Bytes & Bites: My Digital Body" serves as a visual and kinesthetic exploration of this evolving relationship, where the physical and virtual coalesce, challenging the boundaries that delineate our understanding of presence and absence in the digital age.
