twistedsister.io
(2019)
A collective 3d-sculpting experiment
at the junction of art, technology and economics.
Merging visual thinking, game theory and value systems as elements of social interaction and collaborative creation practices, twistedsister.io explores the forces behind the phenomena of self-portrayal in social media relationships. Digital 3D technologies, visual media, blockchain and performance conflate into an artistic work which gravitates around the human body as a malleable avatar.
VIDEO DOCUMENTATION
Mirroring ourselves in the digital space has opened up a vast array
of forms of representation characterised by the inherent incentive mechanisms of social networks we want to be part of. In an act of self-commodification, the continuous optimisation of our virtual self is not self-directed, instead we allow mostly anonymous peers, whether they are humans, bots or corporate algorithms to cast their expectations on us,
eventually to decide who we ought to be.
