Cyborg Salon
August 2022 - February 2023
Co-creation with Dall-E
Blender experiments
Within the process of getting nail extensions - technology is used to create a non-organic nail that is inseperable from the nail plate. Drawing from the Cyborg Manifesto (Donna Haraway) - I understand this added nail as a part of the self, that turns us into a cyborg.
Nail extensions are inherently technological, but are not seen as such, because of their connection to feminity.
Within this project my goal is to expand our understanding of what it means to be a cyborg, and to invite femme-identifying people to take up more space in technological spaces, where they have always belonged.
