INVOLUCRUM

IED Milan Project: Visual Arts for the Digital Age

Academic year

2022/2023

The students of the Master in Visual Arts for the Digital Age had the pleasure of exhibit a selection of unpublished works at Fabbrica del Vapore which they created during the past year. The collective exhibition entitled "Denoise" demonstrated how society is aimed towards the future, how it reflects itself in its own noise and how it recognizes itself in it.

Involucrum is a work of autobiographical nature, which reflects on the theme of the automaton. Starting at birth, the body often relates to inanimate forms such as simple household objects, establishing a relationship of identification and symbiosis. The work consists of an interactive sound performance in which the artist's body reconnects with a series of objects from her childhood. Through their sound and activation, they reassemble and animate a new body: a virtual double, which appears in the form of a ghost on a screen.
