Digital Twin showcased artists and designers who investigate human experience through digital rendering, exploring the sublime and chilling effects of technology on physical and psychological existence.

From the early internet to social media to quickly metastasizing chatbots and image generators, humans provide the code, algorithms, images, and interactions that create digital worlds. But as we spend time in these digital worlds, the data we output is changed – extracted, sold, amalgamated, categorized, reformed – all while being marketed back at us. What is the difference between human beings and these “digital twins”? How can we leverage that difference to reclaim bodily agency in the Age of Information?

In Digital Twin, artists diagram cyclical adaptation between humans and our data (Tin Ta, Victoria Wohlforth, Lewis Colburn); adapt technologies of digital doubling (Ann T. Dinh, Alex Yang, Rghad Balkhyoor); and hack technological fabrication to create pro-human futures (Cooper Wright, Emil Polyak, Darren Woodland, Nicole Feller-Johnson). Reverent and profane, farcical and severe, unnerving and uplifting, Digital Twin showcased artists, designers, and fabricators wrestling with some of the most pressing creative problems of the digital age.
