[Testo disponibile solo in inglese] "Devourer of Senses" is a video work, demonstrating how the digital environment is reconstructing and publicizing our intimate experiences, directly influencing the image of our core self.
I filmed this video, staging my own body within the framework of suffering associated with a loss of identity. With the growing technological advancements comes the growing need to stay desperately plugged into the Internet. People look at social media accounts for evidence of character. New technology allows us to produce a narrative of our lives, to choose what to remember and what to contribute to our mythos.
We’re seeing our life through the screen. Our reality has been already mediated, augmented, and documented and there’s no access to some state of unmediated purity. At some point, digital devices will be doing all the work and social media will be the only outlet for all human interaction, leaving no traces of personal identity. But, among all these avatars we can transform ourselves into, can we even remember who we are?
