BIO
SOPHIE REID-SINGER / CLUNKK
b. 1996 reid.72.singer@gmail.com My practice is a playfully cynical exploration of disability and digital space. The installation/gallery becomes a site of resistance against binary notions of self, rendering; gender, sexuality, ability, and agency, ambiguous. Videogames, sculptural interfaces, drawings and soundscapes manipulate the participant into purposeless interactions with emerging technologies. These hybrid digital/analogue zones, illuminated by the glow of screens and flooded with a cacophony of biological noise act as sites of unlearning the dogma of the body. The zone, turned art-arcade, guides the visitor through a series of sensory scenarios that revel in moments of delay, denying a climax. My work celebrates the porous mortality of the body, the sickness, the grime, the filth. It is a collaboration with the computer, where the corporeal realm and the digital are indistinguishable. A hard-reboot of a broken robot with a slap to the face. Bleep bloop. |
