Black Body Radiation: Rescripting Data Bodies / Ama BE (GH/US), Ameera Kawash (PS/US)
Black Body Radiation: Rescripting Data Bodies is a collaborative art project by Ameera Kawash and Ama BE. It reimagines relationships between embodiment and datafication, interlinking live performance, AI-generated avatars, and body sensor networks to challenge dominant configurations of identity, data and commodification. Drawing from African masquerade and the concept of avatars, it integrates live performance and digital art to transform relationships between data, self, and commodity.
This project rethinks relationships between data and embodiment, exploring new ways to value and circulate performance artwork. It challenges data colonialism and digital practices based on exploitive relationships between data and self. Ameera Kawash designed a framework for capturing performer metrics and created AI-generated avatars that respond to Ama BE’s performance.
