Re-mapping the curve of the young female figure; feminist media art practice, in the age of digital transformation (last edited: 2024)

About this exposition

This practice research project (re) imagines the young female body and the transformation of adolescence; using the curve as an expanded motif, conceived in relational, figurative, temporal and geometric terms.   I reflect on how the adolescent body is (re) presented differently by digital technologies, through the prism of feminist post-human philosophy. I explore how new media can (re) imagine the pubescent  body in its polymorphous becoming using multimedia time displacement techniques and immersive technologies. Through multimedia technologies - photography, film, animation and 3D - I explore the female figure from an eco feminist perspective. I aim to emancipate the young female figure from a patriarchal representation and linear trajectory to one that looks both backwards and forwards to a possible future, a feminist space (Kristeva. 1981); using a feminist praxis to examine the possibilities of a non-linear arc of transformation. Through a series of iterative experimental digital artworks I (re)imagine the young female figure in terms of relational movement (Manning. 2009) and the post-human notion of becoming woman (Braidotti. 2016). I explore how the adolescent girl/woman moves in relation to the environment and others, using immersive digital technologies that privilege a sensory encounter.
