Madame I was the subject of a neurological study in the early 20th century, a patient who had lost her ‘body awareness’ or proprioception. Her predicament and lucid, poignant description of her condition resonates with the disembodied nature of our contemporary networked lives, of everyday mobile and digital technologies. The work transposes this condition onto a 3D animated character existing in a mobile phone, Madame I of the work’s title, who contemplates the nature of her disembodied predicament.
Madame I is an Artist’s Film & Video production supported by The National Lottery® through Scottish Arts Council and Scottish Screen. Additional support has been provided by CereProc, The Tacticus Project and Sharewire.
