Glitched Goddesses With Portrait of Picasso @ArtBasel Miami 2018

Reflections on gender inequality within the cultural world. Glitch Goddess.

"#GlitchGoddess was originally born out of my #Arthack project on Instagram, which I started in 2016. In my practice I use glitch as a digital aesthetic, technological phenomenon, and as a way in which the digital is transforming and changing the physical. So “she is glitching” is defying the existing concepts of the female shape in art, as she is animated between slender, heavy, young, old, pregnant, curvy, stylized and also abstract, as a contemporary and digital approach to the representation of the female form. Her first hack appearance was in my Frieze London with Kavanaugh hack. I used her in my Art Basel Miami 2018 #arthack, with voices of artists like Joan Semel and Faith Ringgold from a documentary on inequality in the art world, and then it went viral with over 3 million views and 53k shares on my Public Facebook Page, and millions of other views on other art channels."
