Jessica Tucker: skin would call a poor eye simple

skin would call a poor eye simple, is a solo exhibition by Jessica Tucker of sculptural and video works depicting distorted bodies and faces suspended in both virtual and physical materials. Made through disrupted, glitched processes of face detection and body motion capture, these works challenge contemporary efforts to encapsulate the body through technologies of data collection and visualization. The works in this exhibition appear as reimagined skins, sensitive and uncanny, out of place. They disturb our sense of the body’s boundaries and question the nature of the body as surface and interface. What does it feel like to have one’s body translated and mediated through technological observation?
