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.
