In me, myself and (a)I, Martina Menegon trains a machine-learning AI using custom datasets derived from a series of bathtub selfies. Through this process, she generates a series of digital self-portraits - fragmented, algorithmic embodiments that evolve beyond mere replication. The self-portraits exist both as digital images (.png) as well as shimmering, three-dimensional frames, made tangible through Augmented Reality.
The AI training is intentionally left incomplete, allowing for fluid, unpredictable transformations that extend Martina’s ongoing practice of performative glitched self-portraiture that challenge notions of hybrid identity and corporeality.
By translating her physical form into an artificial, shifting self, Martina explores the intimate entanglements between technology and the self-body, dissolving the boundaries between physical and virtual, organic and inorganic, human and machine, self and simulation.
