Digital Bodies: Loops of Desire brings together three bodies of work from my ongoing research project Performative Digital Bodies, which examines how online platforms turn bodies into both material and medium for endless cycles of production and consumption. Using collected TikTok videos, the exhibition reimagines these digital bodies through three abstract forms—experimental video, large-scale collage, and a projection-based media installation. Together, the works translate scrolling rhythms into a physical environment of loops, density, and pulsation. The exhibition invites audiences to linger beyond a single scroll, sitting with desire’s repetition while reflecting on (and resisting) the compulsion to consume.

The project and exhibition are generously supported by the Canada Council for the Arts and the Ontario Arts Council.
