Speculative Touch Interface (CCTV)

As skin becomes interface, and interface becomes self we must ask: where does the machine end, and where do you begin?

The digital fleshscape, while promising connection, wounds bodies stretched across networks of capital and code. This speculative anatomy, digital yet corporeal, intimate yet uncanny, explores the seduction and surveillance of interfaces.

Discarded Amazon boxes form the physical and conceptual base of each sculpture: cardboard pulp mashed into a mutable new skin, enveloping discarded tubing, defunct technology, and fragmented scans of bodies taken from public surveillance cameras. They form new body-machines composed of organs, ports, grid-like screens, and apertures that might be mouths or cameras or something else entirely.

By reconstituting cast-off consumer materials, the sculptures disrupt the relentless logic of the digital supply chain. Each piece functions as a prosthetic site, deliberately entangling human and machine, provoking new bodily imaginaries. Through this radical remixing, the sculptures embody acts of resistance against surveillance capitalism, destabilizing the boundaries of familiar devices and identities, and creating fissures where entirely new forms of being might emerge.
