Layers of Becoming is an immersive, mixed-material installation that explores metamorphosis and the fluid nature of identity. Moving through the space, visitors encounter a network of shifting selves, forms, and echoes, each layer reflecting a different facet of who we are. The materials and structure themselves tell the story of transformation, connection, and the process of becoming.
Digital 3D creatures mutate and shift, revealing the contradictions and tensions that dwell within us. Interactive installations respond to viewers, changing how they see themselves, fragmenting and refracting the self across screens and surfaces. Sound tubes carry whispers, pulses, and traces of memory, linking temporalities and layering past, present, and imagined selves. Plastic curtains hang like skin, a physical metaphor for the porous, permeable nature of identity.
The work investigates boundaries between self and other, body and technology, inner and outer that continuously dissolve and recombine. Visitors encounter a space in which becoming is not a goal but a condition: provisional, interconnected, and always in motion. In this space we try to inhabit the tension of identity, to feel its fragility, multiplicity, and constant emergence.
Who We Are
we are four. animation, sound, code, image.
colliding. overlapping. folding into each other.
identity — fluid, layered, relational. not owned, not fixed, never finished.
multiplicities emerge. the other creeps in. we watch. we shape. we shift.
how is identity felt? how does it leak? how does it shape what bodies do, what they become?
cyberfeminist echoes. machines, screens, bodies, networks.
we explore the edges. presence / absence. self / other. body / technology.
how do we inhabit the flux of ourselves? to feel it ripple, fracture, fold?
art as intervention. as amplification. as lens on the invisible.
These hybrid beings blur the line between the possible and the fantastical,
combining contradictory traits—strength and fragility, logic and emotion—
to question the integrity of anatomy and identity. Their bodies become
metaphors for inner conflict, mutation, and the fluid tension between
appearance and essence.
Sound
Inspired by talk-tubes, the tube systems carry layered whispers, spoken words and mysthic atmospheres, evoking connections between past, present, and future selves. The soundscape becomes a breathing organism, a sonic metaphor for temporal identity, transforming as visitors move through the space.
Interactive Screen Installation Sketch
Viewers confront distorted versions of themselves reflected in an array of screens some veiled, others fractured. Lights and wires weave across surfaces, mapping the connections between multiple selves, suggesting that identity is a composite tapestry of memories, projections, and transformations.
Presentation / Installation
We intentionally use contrasting materials and structures to mirror the fluid yet fragile boundaries of identity. Screens reflect temporal layers of self, while veils partially obscure, suggesting our inner and outer selves never align perfectly. The tension between transparent and opaque, hard and soft, evokes the paradox that we can hold opposite versions within us.
The tubes carry sound, collapsing the line between body and machine, between hidden identity and exposed form. In this space, boundaries — physical, psychic, imagined — dissolve and recombine, making visible the liminal, ever-shifting terrain of who we are.
