Body-oddy-oddy-oddy: Destabilizing the Surveilling of Queer Bodies explores the nature of how Rosenthal and Souther understand the body, the ways in which they queer the body, and performative nature of how the artists explore our identities in media space.
More Information
The work challenges the supremacy of normative human body-to-body contact by exploring the role that a hybrid human-object-virtual encounter might pose for alternative forms of intimacy and contact. By creating a multi-channel video installation, Rosenthal and Souther create opportunities for audiences to reimagine their own bodies in proximity to the screens.
The artists state that the work is developed "collaborating with A.I. systems that are trained on our visual and linguistic cultural understanding of "normativity," "queerness" and "bodies"".
