"Highly sophisticated technological machinery such as computing and digital processing devices are beginning to blur the distinction between the organic and the inorganic. Along with 'artificial intelligence' we now hear the phrase 'artificial life', yet it is never made entirely clear in what sense these qualities have been made 'artificial', The main subject in this image is a nude figure submerged under water and engaged in an act of self-examination. Against this is a backdrop of assorted electronic debris which form a river bed. But the mysteries of the body are still unresolved after their reduction to the metaphor of the machine, now that technology is developing a mythology of its own. The installation shows a simulated body in a pool of water, broken up digitally into four separate video monitors which the spectator will be able to move around like a jigsaw puzzle, thereby changing their configuration."
