Annotation

The exhibition Body in the Interface by Slovak artist Lucia Čarnecká invites viewers to reflect on the transformations of sculpture in the digital age. The artist redefines the traditional medium, transitioning from tangible, material forms to virtual and performative spaces. Using technologies such as video holograms, 3D scanning, and virtual reality, she explores the boundaries of identity, cultural memory, and the interaction between the body and technology.

Čarnecká draws inspiration from both archaeology and contemporary digital tools, juxtaposing raw materials like clay from Pezinok with immaterial digital imagery. Works such as Resemblance and Stranger from Jericho delve into the relationship between physical identity and cultural heritage – from familial facial features to reinterpretations of ancient funerary practices. Simultaneously, the artist questions the status of sculpture in the context of rapidly developing technologies such as 3D printing and artificial intelligence.

The exhibition also highlights a feminist critique of art history. The piece Čarnecka's Hand challenges the lack of representation of female visual artists in the canon, presenting a digital cast of the artist’s own hand as a contrast to classical artifacts. In the series Action Two Hands Model, the artist emphasizes the choreography of gestures in the sculptural process, which – stripped of its original context – becomes an almost ritualistic dance, inviting contemplation of the meaning of creative labor.

Body in the Interface is a narrative about the tension between tradition and innovation, materiality and transience, materiality and digital abstraction. Čarnecká confronts the viewer with questions about who we are in an era where the boundaries between humans and technology are increasingly blurred.
