Datame / Mila Bubliy & Isha Naguiat
DATAME (2020)Mila Bubliy & Isha Naguiat Challenge Paper during Artist Residency at Plan8t Air (Changsa, China)Technology has become one of the blessings and curses of modern society.While especially now during the Covid-19 crisis digital tools slowly replace physical interaction, the dangers of a dual life and maybe even a traceless fully virtual one cannot be neglected. With our study on digital humanity in the context of our project INTERSECTION, we aim to explore this janus-faced relationship and focus on what isolation and digital freedom do to identity and a feeling of self.
