IRL and Welcome to my Homepage present the IRL exhibition Virtual Viscera by Elaine Adams.

Project Description

Virtual Viscera explores the ways in which today’s digital and online media shape individual identity and form a virtual connection with the individual’s brain and body. The interactive collage, designed to create an abstract self portrait of the artist, is comprised of the artist’s original images as well as found images and internet ephemera. The collage serves as a digital memory archive in which the virtual merges with the flesh. The exhibition of Virtual Viscera will feature a new audio piece which will allow the viewer to experience maximum sensory immersion.
