DIGITAL BODY LANGAUGE
Digital Body Language is a project exploring the subtle ways technology shapes intimacy, communication, attention, and identity. It looks at how our online behaviors reflect how we feel, what we avoid, and how we connect.
Aka - the unspoken language of the internet.
The project grew out of noticing how strange our digital lives have become — how my phone feels like a real character in my life, quietly shaping my relationships with lovers, friends, bosses, and myself. Nearly every conversation I had began to include a moment that happened through a screen, or an explanation to my mom about a feature she’s never had to contend with before.
We live inside systems designed to keep us constantly available, constantly stimulated, and rarely present. Conversations blur, attention fractures, and relationships shift in ways we don’t always have language for.
Digital Body Language is a space where those unnamed, often unspoken truths of our digital lives are talked about - and laughed about. I’m interested in how, when, and where technology conditions each of us differently, and how those patterns shape the way we show up, relate, and feel human in a world that never really turns off.
And yes - it’s not lost on me that I’m using the very technology I’m questioning to question it.
