A body. Neither here nor there. To act as a representation without representation. A reckless abandon.

‘Virtual skins stretch and shrink onto non-bodily body frames with a natural tightness, but occasional awkward charring or technical hiccups break the new flesh, letting a digital puss seep out. In appropriating the image and form of a living being to make a new digital body, where does the exterior existence of one end and the performance of the other begin in tandem?’
