SYNTHETIC ANATOMIES OF ELSEWHERE
Shaping our bodies through code, mesh, and collective memory in the digital space.
.
“Synthetic Anatomies of Elsewhere” is an ongoing research-led design practice exploring how the human form can be reimagined through procedural processes to express memory, emotion, and identity. Working at the intersection of code, embodiment, and spatial storytelling, this practice engages the body as both canvas and conduit—one that absorbs the pressures of digital life and echoes the textures of forgotten spaces. Through exploratory workshops, participants and collaborators are invited to deconstruct and reconstruct digital anatomies, not for realism, but for resonance—channeling affect through distortion, abstraction, and emergence. These are not bodies of fact, but of feeling: synthetic figures shaped by inner states and external environments, anchored in elsewhere.
