| dc.description.abstract | This research project investigates and critiques dualistic suppositions of contemporary subjectivity in regards to formations of subjectivity that occur through the interplay of the body and technology. By asserting that subjectivity is both fluid and contextual and that dualisms of the virtual and real are indicative of a logical fallacy, this research posits that the body and technology are interwoven in complex assemblage that facilitates contemporary modes of subjectivity. This research identifies the ways in which technologies of representation continually enforce dualistic limitations upon subjectivity and negate its contextual nature. Subsequently, the research intentionally queers and reconfigures the operations of these technologies and the representations they produce. By subverting normative digital data, representations of queer subjectivity have been generated that fracture dualisms of the virtual and real as well as the body and technology. The research culminates in a body of visual artworks that attempt to fracture Cartesian notions of duality and subsequently spatiality. In doing so, the body of work presents a reconfiguring of technologically mediated subjectivity that is inherently queer. | |
