Abstract
This support paper seeks to analyze the potential of a new media arts practice in relationship to Second to Fourth Wave feminism discourse. Based on the works produced during my MFA studies at Emily Carr University, I investigate how a humanized representation of feminine subjectivity in media arts can operate a mind shift in the audience. I intend my work to participate in the neutralization of the internalized objectification of women’s bodies, providing a counterfoil to the images of the beauty myth at the benefit of a broader and more inclusive mode of femininity. Drawing from feminist photography, video and performance art from the 1970’s to present day, I explore how abjection, repetition, and autoethnography in media art act as key strategies in my research. Just as my artworks, this support paper is both a manifesto and a love letter; a protest and a celebration. // Ce document de soutien vise à analyser le potentiel d’une pratique artistique médiatique dans le cadre de la Seconde à la Quatrième Vague de féminisme. Se basant sur les œuvres produites durant mes études de MFA à Emily Carr University, je questionne comment une représentation humanisée de la subjectivité féminine dans les arts médiatiques peut exercer un changement de mentalité chez l’audience. Mes œuvres ont pour but de participer dans la neutralisation de l’objectification internalisée des corps féminins, offrant un contrepoids aux images du mythe de beauté au profit d’un mode de fémininité plus large et plus inclusif. Citant la photographie, l’art vidéo et la performance féministe des années 1970 à aujourd’hui, j’explore comment l’abjection, la répétition et l’auto-ethnographie dans les arts médiatiques agissent comme stratégies clés dans ma recherche. Tout comme mes œuvres, ce document de soutient est à la fois un manifeste et une lettre d’amour; une protestation et une célébration. |
