Digital Souls: Connection Lost in Virtual Space
8 Apr
Summary
- Exhibition explores human connection's erosion in digital times.
- Artist questions body's persistence while soul drifts virtually.
- Show features fragmented visuals and ambient soundscapes.
At AM Studio in Kolkata, artist Ayan Mukherjee's exhibition 'Digital Atma X The Wandering Souls' probes the diminishing human connection in our screen-dominated era. The show critically examines the disjunction between physical presence and a soul lost in the vastness of digital realms.
This immersive exhibition, a collaboration with several artists and a soundscape designer, utilizes fragmented visuals and ambient echoes. It reflects a sense of dislocation, capturing the curator's poetic yet unsettling observations on our digital existence. The display resists simple technological critique.
Instead, it poses profound questions about agency and control, suggesting a subtle surrender to digital systems. Intimacy is re-evaluated as typed exchanges and mediated emotions replace warmth. The exhibition, running until April 25, invites contemplation on living versus being alive in the digital age.
