What happens when your digital shadow takes shape: tangible, interrogative, observant?
Ilona Roth (AT/DE), René Mayrhofer (AT), Cornelia Lehner (AT)
Digital identities accompany us throughout our daily lives—whether consciously used or operating silently in the background. Like shadows, they follow our actions in the modern world. But who owns them? Who controls these digital shadows?
Ilona Roth and René Mayrhofer explore the interplay between the digital and physical world from both artistic and scientific perspectives, and how they are shaping our society.
