Discours (notes)

"The project is based upon the digitally captured bodysurface of Eva Wohlgemuth, which was realized in 1997 at Cyberware, Monterey, California. This basic code was rendered by the artist with different software applications in various formats - [ plain text, representing the whole body as a series of numbers; wireframe and surface renderings; movies and video output; VRML interactive worlds; HTML-code; CD-ROM; stereolithografic sculptures; milled replicas] As a multimedia art project bodyscan is investigating bodyrepresentation at a time of dublication,cloning and aesthetic surgery "My artistic interest in the body is not based upon the wish to develop the perfect bodymachine with an extravagant new look or augmented functionality, but the psychological investigation of external and internal selfimages of the new bodyrepresentations. Through the transfer into multiple data formats we get a quite abstract new image of ourselves, which could lead to new visions and selfconcepts. We could set other definitions - and find new stories about ourselves. History gets outdated, obsolete and questionable, there might be a switch to new emotional codes. The bodyclones are each telling another story about ourselves. What will the lives of these doubles and clones show us?" -E.W. In 2005 I had a new scan done at VITRONIC, Wiesbaden. As the developpement of easy managable software and new features are offering an enlarged field for investigations, this new material will offer...also in relation to the natural ageing process of the scanned body and latest reflections on the enlarged artistic content of the topic a source for new works." http://nr00226.vhost2.sil.at/E_WOHLGEMUTH/BODYSCAN/index.html
