Exploring Posthuman Identity
Looking at the past, present and future of female identity, this project aims to challenge representations of the female body in the digital realm. In collaboration with artificial intelligence, I took inspiration from a generative adversarial network (GAN) experiment I conducted using virtual bodies; reimagining the female body through a cybernetic lens. Intending for my audience to re-evaluate their perceptions and aesthetics of the human body, this project exhibits the opportunity for digital identity to become multidimensional, inclusive, and constantly shapeshifting.
Digital Identity: Posthumanism
The topic of this project was the exploration of artificial life through experimenting with post-humanism. These 3D avatars have been developed from inspiration of a GAN experiment I did with virtual bodies. The output data showed blurred shapes of human anthropometry but it was the movement of the bodies morphing into one and other I was interested in. I took this movement developed from AI and integrated it into my 3D work - keyframing the character bodies to shapeshift into different proportions. My intention for this was to allow my audience to re-evaluate their own perceptions and aesthetics of the human body.
