SINOPSE:

Mona Vatamanu & Florin Tudor - Romenia

 

Bodybit - 2003 - 3:00
'The project is analizing the relationship between virtual architecture and human body as real architecture. The fragile body interact with digital information, the body is using extensions provided by electronic architecture, it becomes real or virtual depending on the context. Real image seems to be digitally generated, birds moving synoptically like a huge virtual object wich is changing continously the form.
Fitting together animated parts of the smurf's body can be interpreted as a disrupture and a reassembling of shaman's body. The pattern of the project tells a shaman's journey, the body is a highway for virtual architecture, the e-information is alive and is replacing for the body animals cast. Bites instead of animals, the nature dominated by human culture is used as a point of reference, preserved as cultural information.
The body is functioning as a conector between real and virtual, border zone between these but also a limit for virtual or real experiment.'
