Desquamation

by Tom Lane (United Kingdom)

Genre: Digital Performance

Desquamation is an abstract, non linear video game pretending to be a self portrait (or the other way around) shown as a performance. It is about the different ways we shed our skins and become something else as we connect more of ourselves with digital technologies. Through interactive and visual effects, the piece tells multiple stories of psyche, emotion and opinion, and renders them in a not too distant future. These stories may tie together, but do not follow one train of thought, or style. With the parallel Inquiry allowing for both speculative visions of the future, and a multi-layered, or multi skinned, self portrait.
