The workshop “Glitched Identity, Extended Self, Augmented Body” reflects on the redefinition of the self as well as the anxiety of body boundaries, consciousness, subjectivity and identity when using XR. Through the creation of glitched, fragmented, and extended bodies, the workshop explores AR as space for reimagining selfhood. Glitch aesthetics expose the instability, multiplicity, and hybridity at the core of contemporary identity, while the augmented body offers new ways of connecting with, negotiating, and transforming our digital selves.
The workshop was conceptualized as a support event to the solo show “Me, Masculine” by Uruguayan artist Camillo Nuñez at Improper Walls, Vienna, and presented on May 19 2022.
