Abstract
Description
**Abstract** (from author, in quotation marks):
This paper delves into the aesthetics and ethics surrounding the collaborative virtual reality artwork, Your Data Body. Made using medical scan data as a metaphor for our ever-expanding bodies of intimate personal data, Your Data Body seeks to challenge how we interact with the data of others, questioning the etymology of the word data, meaning “given” and questioning whether in many cases, data is rather “taken”. Using the gaming device of moving through progressive scenes, users first encounter open-access anonymized scan data and later donated data given with active and ongoing consent of the subject. Each scene situates the medical scan data within LiDAR scans, is accompanied by poetic elements, and has a complex sonic composition that combines field recordings, choral composition and data sonification as a way to situate the data geographically, temporally and emotionally.
