hard data, soft bodies (corps / données)

hard data, soft bodies (corps / données) is a multi-channel installation that opens a fractured portal into a world where bodies and machines collide. Across sixteen suspended screens—entangled in cables and mirrored by a reflective floor—organic forms drift: bone fragments, marrow-like blobs, disjointed fingers, and memory devices drawn into gravitational choreography. This “virtual matter” resists perfection. As hardware and anatomy deform one another, the installation explores how technology shapes, compresses, and distorts the body. The mirror below doubles the scene, emphasizing the layered materiality of the digital image and echoing the recursive logic of data replication. Generative in nature, the process behind this work remains open-ended—an evolving, vulnerable system where each contortion, crash, and glitch leaves a trace. The installation itself is not a final product, but a momentary imprint of an ongoing artistic research into our intimate and often uneasy entanglement with technology.
