The workshop “The Uncanny Other. Creating and Performing Avatars (Pandemic Survival Kit)” focuses on digital interventions in virtual spaces and bodies through emerging tools for artistic production. It explores the creation of face filters as a means to augment the physical self and opens up new modes of interaction and performance. By using the virtual as a medium, the workshop examines how avatars can become expressive extensions of the self, enabling playful, critical, and uncanny forms of embodiment and presence — especially in moments of isolation and digital dependency.
The workshop was presented at The Overkill Festival on December 4 2020, online
