Becoming Image
Xinyu Li
This thesis begins with a sense of discomfort about the changing boundaries of the human body in relation to technology. As digital systems increasingly mediate how we see, represent, and experience ourselves, the body is no longer a stable or purely biological entity. Instead, it becomes a site where flesh, image, and system intersect.
When the mask appears on the street or in domestic spaces, the boundary between representation and reality becomes unstable. The body is no longer simply a private physical presence; it becomes a site where image, identity, and visibility intersect.
