Rowena Harris Explores Digital-Body Entanglement at Gallery Apart

Rowena Harris, hailing from Norfolk and born in 1985, is currently presenting a solo show at Gallery Apart in Rome that offers a glimpse into anthropology. She explores the ongoing evolution of a fluid, changing meta-reality. Harris argues that while digital media shape how we view the world, older technologies have also played a role. She examines the relationship between our physical and digital selves, suggesting that this interaction enriches our daily lives rather than detracts from them. A key focus for her is how perception is tied to the body. Her sculpture series, "At the Edge of the Frame," features concrete shoes that challenge our thoughts on digital and physical art, while her video piece reflects on how digital experiences alter our understanding of humanity.
