Our engagement with digital technologies we disrupt, augment and interfere uncannily with our co-presence in virtual and real space causing us to constantly reassess our perceptions of space, time & place. Our recent artworks consider how we experience our bodies meeting virtual worlds….By exploring how we move in and around the new spaces that emergent technologies afford we are engaged in new creative practices and models of performance that are emerging and transforming in this arena.Virtual reality enables us to experience the body in different ways, on a different somatic plane inhabiting places and spaces as if they were physical, corporeal encounters. Automated Away unveils process in interdisciplinary art collaborations – exploring virtual travel through bodily navigations of real and simulated environments and performing data encryption resulting in rematerialisations of bodily data.
