SCREENING is a video and film exhibition celebrating the visual language artists use to explore varied yet overlapping expressions of self, strength, vulnerability, sexuality, vanity, nostalgia, frivolity, activism, rage, subversion, and more.
How can we nurture selves that extend beyond the physical limits of the body? What are the confines of our meta-beings? To what extent do we have dominion over our avatars? Are we delimited by them? Can we create personhood from within them? How are our emotions rooted in digital languages? Can adaptation and disguise function as a form of emancipation? Is vanity a tool? Is my nostalgia data? Is sex a sequence? When is boredom sublime? Can it free us? What are the power structures of this system? Are they universal? What is this cognitive history? Can it function as an act of resistance? Our selves, fashioned, touching but distant.
