Self As Data
In this work, the artist seeks to transform the daily data collected and stored in daily life, such as step counts, sleep monitoring, and geographical trajectories, into perceptible visual and auditory experiences. These seemingly neutral numbers reveal the condition of individuals in a digital society: bodies and lives are quantified, monitored, and continually translated into another “self” within databases.
The moving geometric shapes are both structured and uncertain, creating an image that feels both familiar and strange. As viewers walk and look, they sense the pull between the “digital self” and the “inner self of experience".
This tension compels reflection: in the disciplinary and surveillance society described by Foucault, have technology and algorithms already reshaped the existence of the individual? When life is reduced to a series of computable metrics, is the self merely a product of data, or can it still assert experiences and freedoms beyond the digital realm?
