Lauren Dunn
Portrait of a Cyborg
Through stolen images, sound and sculptural installation Lauren’s practise considers boundaries between the human and machine via imaging of popular culture to explore the contemporary cyborg as metaphor for technological mediation of the body and its associated modifications. Addressing the rapid flux of online images, algorithmic influences and the political context of image circulation, Portrait of a Cyborg examines how technology and popular cultures drive desire, their effect on conception of the self and the subsequent impact on identity.
