Tears, spit & cum

Navigating through familiar interfaces - that new kind of architecture that our digital self inhabits - we are liberated from the constraints of a physical body. In this disembodied experience our eyes become our guides in these virtual environments while the rest of our sensory input is muted and our tactile experience is constrained to the sleek surface of a screen.

However, can the mind be divorced from the body? Emotions transcend the screen surface. We see, we communicate, we feel. Our body reacts to the visual stimuli. Tears, spit and cum are some kind of a materialization of emotions, an organic matter, meeting the surface of a digital abyss.

Those bodily fluids become a magnifying –thus simultaneously distorting –glass trying to look deeper in the screen’s two dimentional surface.But there are only grayscales, color gradients, pixels, 0’s and 1’s. Or maybe not?

(For this project I created color gradients sample picking colors of the most popular communication apps, social networks and porn sites. The original files are of great detail- 11.600 pixels the long side-so I include some details also. This project is still in progress, containing 17 images. It started in 2019.)
