Light Body

Light Body is an exploration of embodied space located in the digital realm. Exploring this by way of digital and material failure, celebrating and exploiting those failures rather than avoiding them. A direct followup to What Is It Made Of, an experiment featuring a 3D camera and camera obscura, in Light Body my wife becomes the sun. This play of light’s relationship to both camera and screen are all called upon in my desire to create art of my wife versus my wife’s conflicting desire of maintaining her privacy online. In this way, I am utilizing holes in camera vision to my benefit, recontextualizing what is often seen as failures of medium into necessary elements of my piece.
