YOUR BODY

While crafting Tanky's avatar—capturing her facial details and modeling her form—we began experimenting within a digital landscape. This playful exploration evolved into a gamified experience, culminating in an animated short film, with a soundscape by our dear friends, Lee and Michal: NNHMN.

We envisioned a virtual odyssey of self-discovery and transcendence, drawing inspiration from the concept of metaverses and the manifold personas we create across the diverse domains of our digital existence.

This film delves into the Platonic concepts of SOMA-SEMA, as referenced in the aforementioned Greek passage from Plato's "Gorgias", attributed to Socrates: "But who knows, perhaps living is actually dying, and dying is living? And perhaps in truth, we are already dead. For I have heard from the wise that we are currently dead, and our body is our tomb."

Is our body merely a fleeting vessel for the soul?

How do our mediated physicalities shape our emotional, spiritual existence, and journey towards transcendence?
