Digital Anthropometry reinterprets Yves Klein’s exploration of the human imprint, bringing it into the digital era. While Klein captured the physical
body in the material world, here, the body becomes
data—fluid, evolving, and untethered from physical constraints. Using infrared sensors and depth cameras, the artist transforms presence into a
digital form, crafting a new aesthetic of identity. No longer a static imprint, the body becomes dynamic information, constantly reshaping itself.
This work questions identity in the digital age, where the human imprint is no longer fixed but a modifiable stream of data. Who are we when our physical
presence is fluid and reconfigurable? The personal silhouette, though unique, merges into a new universal language through digital processing, blurring the
lines between individuality and collectivity. For Yves Klein, blue symbolized infinity and spirituality. Here, it becomes a sign of connection, dissolving the boundaries between past and present, personal and collective, physical and digital. Technology does not merely document reality—it reshapes it, allowing the body to transcend the material world.
Manifesto:
I am no longer just a body—I am a digital flow, permeating metaspaces. Data connects me to myself, you to me. We are no longer separate; we are shifting streams of information.
