Data Echoes
This project investigates the intersection of physical presence and digital simulation through the act of self-photoscanning. By capturing multiple digital versions of the self and placing them into a shared, indistinct environment, the work reflects on the multiplicity of identity in hybrid-digital contexts. These scanned bodies are not static representations, but temporal markers—each a momentary imprint of the self, recontextualized within an unstable visual field.
Set within a diffuse, dusty, and fog-laden space, the environment functions less as a backdrop and more as an active condition—one that obscures, reveals, and unsettles. The ambiguity of the setting dissolves spatial certainty, encouraging a sense of liminality and disorientation. In this way, the environment mirrors the conceptual framework of the work: a layered reality in which clarity is deferred and identity is understood as fluid, partial, and situational.
The use of self-photoscanning becomes a method of both introspection and fragmentation—splitting the body into data and recomposing it in speculative form. Each figure inhabits the space differently, suggesting parallel narratives or alternate iterations of the same subject. Through this process, the project questions the authenticity and coherence of self-representation in digital space, offering a visual meditation on how identity is mediated, multiplied, and reimagined through technological means.
