    About the Book

    Edit

    BOdyssey is an experimental film that ask global women to speculate on some themes including feminism, politics, the family, media art, technology and the advancement of post-human kind. I am sharing their personal stories and archiving them for future generations of women. BOdyssey exhibition is a multi-media installation that incorporates looped projections, paintings, and sculptural elements. At the heart of the piece is over seventeen interviews with women about their lives. For the show I created a futuristic international communication center in which the public was invited to explore and collaborate. The device at the center of both the video production and the installation is a toy camera: the Barbie Cam. Barbie Cam is a 2010 special edition Barbie doll with a video camera and playback unit embedded in its body. I was introduced to this magnificent instrument and to real time video processing during my artist residency at Signal Culture in Upstate New York. In BOdyssey I use the Barbie Cam for its symbolic content and as an actual recording device. The project intends to build upon the role of female characters in Homer's Odyssey, as well as in Stanley Kubrick's pivotal sci-fi film 2001: A Space Odyssey. These seminal works constitute the stepping stones for Astronaut Barbies quest into the future of the human species.
