Abstract

When engaging with the arts in the digital space, it is essential to adopt a critical perspective that considers the specificities of the navigated environment. What occurs when one digitally inhabits a space, and how does the discourse on inhabitation shift? This article focuses on the primary human spaces: the home and the body itself. The aim is to explore digital spaces in relation to the body to understand whether they can generate virtual spaces of critique through artistic practices. The configurations of these spaces, often depicted in extreme, grotesque, and ironic ways, effectively highlight both the contradictions and, at the same time, the potential of digital operativity when it comes to lived spaces.
