skin suits (performance film releasing soon) Skin Suits is
a series of self portraits exploring the misuse of technological tools to
highlight the softness of the human form. Through the manipulation of
technologies engineered to digitize physical information, cartographic textures
are stitched, draped, flattened, and animated.
This realtime motion capture performance explores the tensions between soft and hard, digital and physical, wrapped and unwrapped, information and flesh.

In exposing the misalignments between the machine gaze and the human gaze, craft is engaged as a lens specifically sensitive to materiality. Unwrapped skins are reanimated through the enmeshment of skin quilt and flesh body.
