About this exposition

The Body I Post examines how social media, algorithmic systems, and digital surveillance reshape contemporary understandings and performances of the body. Against the backdrop of theoretical frames leading from Foucault to N. Katherine Hayles, the project at hand scrutinizes the dynamics of shifting gazes, erosion of privacy, and the emergence of the posthuman subject. The work identifies the means by which identities are extracted, categorized, and refashioned through platform infrastructures and biased datasets, by investigating case studies such as Face to Facebook, Amalia Ulman’s Excellences & Perfections, and Trevor Paglen’s ImageNet Roulette. The research combines social experiments, visual references, and personal reflection to explore how bodies are curated for visibility, disciplined by metrics, and archived in ever-expanding digital memory systems. It questions the tension between material embodiment and its algorithmically mediated double and the ways in which humans have become simultaneously users, subjects, and raw data. The Body I Post is about what it means for us to exist as hybrids of flesh and code in an era where self-presentation has become continuous, performative, and inseparable from technological systems.
