Beyond My Skin—an interactive installation in the exhibition Desert of Realities / Wüste der Wirklichkeiten—is extended into a live-performance instrument in the context of musikprotokoll. In an exploration of identity and digital integration, the work creates a “phygital” space in which two performers experience new forms of self-perception and representation away from traditional binary representations (avatars).

Movements translated into the digital create hybrid bodies through interactions, conveying an idea of new conditions for where our bodies begin and end. The performers explore the relationship between bodies and their digital representation in real time, investigating something as physical as the feeling of touch and its meaning in the digital realm. Is it possible to be physically separated from each other and still touch each other digitally? And how would this affect our physical bodies?
