FLAT OUT: Trapped Inside Pixels
Sarah Buckius
VideoDecember 8 - 21, 2011
This performative-video transforms human movements into digital bits that can be copied and pasted, dragged and dropped, rotated and manipulated to create kaleidoscopic patterns. In doing so, the piece explores how digital media uses replication to reconfigure a digitized moving body into infinite animated mutations. At the same time, the quirky bodily movements reestablish a sense of human physicality in virtual digital space
