Digital Spheres - Solo Show at Robert Kananaj Gallery
'Digital Spheres' was an all digital exhibition inspired by the world of online avatars and personalities at Robert Kananaj Gallery in Toronto, Canada. The line between online and offline is becoming remarkably thin in our minds as we increasingly create digital representations of ourselves online. Avatars, gifs, memes and emoticons help us to visualise who we are and how we feel in a digital realm where we cannot observe facial expressions or body language. The word ‘Avatar’ is the Hindi pronunciation of the Sanskrit term ‘avatara’ which means ‘to descent from’ and therefore ‘incarnation’. In this sense, avatars can be defined as incarnations of ourselves online. This exhibition was an exploration into digital avatar characters and sonas.
