| Summary: | As we are immersed in the digital theatre, we are exposed to a context in which social impositions are greater than ever. In this period, where the digital sphere largely supplants physical interactions, the face takes on a fundamental role within the body-avatar.

We find different representations of this context inthe work of artists such as Jessica Ledwich, Yolanda Dorda, Laurie Simmons and CristinaRizzie. |
