Glorified Body/Exquisite Corpse is a collaboratively made website consisting of several animated gifs, each depicting a different quadrant of a human body. Using a similar structure as the surrealist game of the "exquisite corpse", each artist worked without seeing the others' contributions. The result is a ghostly composite, a grouping of moving pixels in the shape of a body, existing momentarily as it's invoked by the browser. Like the glorified body of the crucified Jesus, it passes through walls, appears and disappears, and forfeits its materiality in exchange for a kind of spectral omnipresence.

 

Created as part of Dwayne Carter's irrational.city exhibition at the Bath House Cultural Center in 2015, and living on here for the foreseeable future.
