“In Search of Your Digital Self” playfully explores the trend toward people becoming increasingly emotionally (and financially) invested in their metaverse avatars. Injecting a welcome sense of humor into the exhibition, Belitskaja presents us with an army of twelve curious bots, each with their own distinct biomechanics, marching toward the viewer in lockstep. Though we typically think of machines as being designed to perform specific tasks or work, the artist’s bots feature quirky plumage and imaginative ornaments that appear to serve no purpose other than self-expression. Each has its own sense of fashion, though most appear to be wearing the same shade of lipstick, perhaps in preparation for a night out in the metaverse.
