Touchy Subjects focuses on how the body occupies both a physical world and a digital world inseparable with the rise of internet use. The internet holds endless possibilities to reimagine and represent subjecthood. Physical bodies are denied that freedom as sites for projected desires and oppression. This notion of avatar building on the internet is undermined by how the patriarchy, capitalism, and consumerism may be amplified in digital spaces, while still allowing for the construction of a body not limited by physical constraints.
By using the screen as a medium for creation instead of the apparatus for viewing, this shifts its function to reflecting or shielding the viewers’ gaze. Screens and fragmented bodies are scratched, scattered, manipulated, and performed to represent a post-human body, or a cyborg. These sculptures deny a fully-formed body and foreground destruction as a process of creation in an attempt to construct or reconstruct itself in a simultaneous state of digital and physical presence.
The Richardson Family Museum was fortunate to be visited this week by Ben Owen III. Check out some of the exciting things he shared about material and process when working with ceramics.
