Self-portrait #2 (2026)

Single-channel video, 5’12

Our bodies come up short compared to machines, which have the power to look ever further or deeper into human material. From our human perspective – guided by our own “user interfaces” (UI) – it is a question of observation. But for the machine, the body is not a subject to be observed; it is food, data. This second self-portrait is a work exploring this digestion of bodies by machines, a calculation.

Scanoscopies is a series of works focusing on data packaging, expressed through the idea of crushing: the flatness of the self and the video medium. Based on photocomposition and scanner imaging, these works are conceived as musical pieces, in motion: mechanical and procedural.
