unboxing another otherness

In an approach inspired by feminist science fiction, these unboxing videos allow to imagine optimized contacts, mutations, symbioses between the human body and its interlocutor, the technological Other, the vegetal or the animal. Thus, emancipated cyborg figures, web witches and non-human influencers offer various perspectives here, about speculatively designed objects, new extensions for the body.

"These fictional objects provide their consumers with different forms of extensions and life hacks: whether it is a device that offers the possibility of slowing down the processors of technological objects; or fake regenerative nails that allow the body to renew its energy through photosynthesis, the work opens up the space of a becoming other of which technologies can be the vector. This relationship to otherness participates in identity: through the use of prostheses and augmentations, a blossoming of possibilities takes place, a deployment of the personality and its multiple facets emerges and is actualized." (Bachand, 2022)

These episodes produce a generative narrative that allow us to fabricate a potential future where interactions through our screens no longer make us forget the fact that everyone has a body.
