Proprioceptions, 2024
Video sculptureLabyrinthe - expérience des méandres (group exhibition), Québec
Proprioceptions is a video sculpture addressing the notion of identity in relation to the Internet and the digital mediation devices that persist there, notably news media and social networks.
On a digital screen, fragments of human skin move against each other. Compressed within the confined frame of the object, their contact reveals an ambiguity: is it a stroke or a friction?
This group of patches, fragmented or united, represents the coexistence of different identities that feed the life of digital platforms. Whether through a television news broadcast, an online forum, or a personal profile on a social network, we are constantly confronted with identities and alterities. On these platforms, as many people come together and confront each other for the same reasons: similarity and difference. Saturated with opinions and debates, but also trends and surges of solidarity, the Internet has become the privileged place for encounters with others and with oneself. Every interaction within it, no matter how brief, has the power to transform our view of others and of ourselves. Who has not felt the need to resemble the faces displayed online, or to distinguish themselves from them? Who has not hurried, at least once, to add their two cents to a virtual celebration or argument? And above all, who does not sometimes feel lost in this intangible space where as many ideas as people gather and clash?
The Internet is a labyrinth, a maze in which identities are forged and lost. A winding device where we wander in search of the stranger and ultimately of ourselves.
