Digital Skin

Poetic resistance to "Social Preventive and Mandatory Isolation" and to the normalization of the digitization of bodies, presences and relationships in everyday virtual experience. In this dystopia, the digital would be another possible skin, layer and frontier of a virtualized society.

Director Statement

▴ The short film “Digital Skin” is part of a transdisciplinary artistic project with the same name, which crosses body and technology, where the skin is the sensitive support. Two artists, situated in the House-Body-Woman Territory, in the context of "Social Preventive and Mandatory Isolation", perform a series of technopoetic actions to subvert distances.

▴ Made by María Papi (research, texts, photos and videos) and Narda Milin (research, performer).
