Slowly Fading into Data (2021-ongoing): Experiments on Disembodiment, Extended Cognition, Hybrid Beings and Synthetic Identities.
Slowly Fading into Data (2021–ongoing) is a speculative, transdisciplinary art project that investigates the dissolution of human identity in virtual environments. Spanning multiple artistic formats—including a retro video game, a conceptual music album, a live A/V performance, and an experimental short film—the project explores themes of disembodiment, extended cognition, synthetic identities, and hybrid beings. At its core, the project interrogates how cognition and perception evolve when mediated by digital artifacts. By blending low-tech aesthetics (8-bit game consoles and 8mm film) with high-tech tools (AI-driven design, neural audio synthesis, virtual production), Slowly Fading into Data redefines the audiovisual language used in interactive and immersive experiences. The retro game challenges conventional production through procedurally generated art and sound, while the music album and live performance invite contemplative encounters with post-human sonic landscapes. The film expands these narratives through experimental cinematography, merging fiction and real-time performance.Conceived as artistic research, the project contributes to experimental aesthetics and cognitive science by using game engine technologies and audiovisual systems as laboratories for perception. It offers a novel framework for understanding identity in synthetic environments and raises critical questions about how such transformations shape future sociocultural policies.
