Abstract:
Antonio Gramsci famously stated that “(A) crisis consists precisely in the fact that the old is dying and the new cannot be born.” [1]. Such a crisis is situated within our emerging biodigital selves due to our inability to comprehend digital materiality or to let go of our embodied physical representations within digital space.
Digital Being(s) is a research-creation project that applies speculative design frameworks stemming from our novel biodigital state. The project utilizes digital and immersive technologies to fiction emerging modes of embodied presence.
