As technology takes an ever more significant role in shaping how we develop and embody our identities, the Whitney presents Refigured, a collection of five installations by artists using digital art to probe intersections of ourselves and our machines.
“I want to create language for a calibration point for where we are in regard to our bodies and technology,” said artist Rachel Rossin, reflecting on her piece The Maw Of, a transmedia work that is spread out across a video screen and a QR code that can activate the artwork on visitors’ mobile devices. As Rossin put it, The Maw Of seeks to “address the black boxes of our bodies and technology”.
