Damaris Athene’s transdiciplinary practice explores the Posthuman and how lived experience mediated through technology offers new ways of viewing the materiality of the body and understanding what the body could be. Her work inhabits liminal space, slipping between the real and unreal, and swimming through the permeable boundaries of the body, the organic and synthetic, the digital and physical, and 2D/3D space. Work transmutes from painting to sculpture, performance, photography, and digital collage, accumulating in self-referential installations.
