Simon Senn bought the digitalized body of a real young woman, Arielle F., for USD 12 online. He brought the body to life, modified and “entered” it and ultimately mixed it with his own. He ended up finding and meeting this young woman who became his performance partner. Alone on stage and surrounded by sensors, cameras and video projectors, Simon Senn addresses intimate technological experiences and raises issues relating to gender, psychology and legal frameworks. Simon Senn is a Swiss artist trained at HEAD – Genève and Goldsmiths College in London.

This project is presented as part of the Swiss Interactive Sessions of the Geneva Digital Market in collaboration with Le Grütli – Centre de production et de diffusion des Arts vivants and with the support of Pro Helvetia – Swiss Arts Council, Ernst Göhner Stiftung, Migros Culture Percentage.
