Lauren Cornell’s “First Look” at Aboveground Animation: 3D-Form The works in “3D-Form” are distinguished by their integration of diverse forms, such as drawing, dance, and video, with 3-D animation. From Satterwhite’s glowing wombs and voguing dancers, Daniel’s erotic avatars that writhe, couple, and break apart, Hale’s cluster of identical artificial beings that recall sci-fi fantasies, and Doupé’s flat characters that operate like open text fields—the works reveal fresh terrain for debates around the post-human body. While each work possesses a distinct formal vocabulary, all are equally brazen. They work through our highly sexualized and objectified pop culture to produce new forms of humanity that are both strange and familiar. View high resolution
