This work explores the relationship between technology, the body and female
subjectivity.
The alienation experienced when the subject comes into direct contact with the screen, the interface, and the code is the affect of the displaced embodiment which resonates within the symbolic realm of cyberspace.
While the corporeal body disappears, it is replaced by an immaterial
outline of our passing presence. The code, then, refers to the body's DNA
structure: what becomes visible to the eye is that which is generally
hidden.
As we shift toward a state of immaterial existence, technology increasingly
eliminates all traces of material reality.
