"By combining new media with performance and the material arts, I intend to
demonstrate and comment on the increasing hybridity of our everyday lives."
-Prema Murthy
Bindigirl is a web project that questions our growing relationship with
distance and tele-erotics- tourism and intimacy. It is based on what the
artist calls, Bindi, her "avatar" in screenal space. Bindi is a construct
of fe/male desire, creatied out of what is deemed "exotic" and "erotic".
Bindigirl draws parallels between technology and religion and questions
these as a means for transcendence and the creation of a utopian space.
