METRONOM

3D Animation Showreel (2023-2024) by Harriet Davey is the second video presented within the program Pattern, the sixth edition of Digital Video Wall (DVW), an annual project curated by Gemma Fantacci and structured in thematic chapters, aimed at promoting the dissemination and experimentation of digital art.

Pattern is the theme chosen for this sixth edition of the DVW, which investigates how digital technologies and artificial intelligence shape our perception of the self, the body, and personal identity. This inquiry reflects on the evolution of digital aesthetics, questioning whether we are witnessing the consolidation of past ideals or the emergence of alternative forms.

Harriet Davey is a 3D Artist and Art Director based in Berlin. Through the exploration of gender non-conforming virtual avatars, Davey restores and reclaims the bodies extorted by a male dominated gaming industry.
Through the personal exploration of their own avatar ‘Whowle’ Davey is able to directly probe their personal self expression and gender identity in a form of digital ‘drag’. Creating worlds and alternate universes for Whowle and the rest of their cast of creatures provides an escape for Davey and their viewers.

With DVW, Metronom offers a place dedicated to the exhibition and presentation of digital art languages. The peculiar position of the video wall, which allows 24-hour use from the street front, transforms the DVW into an urban intervention, a way to redesign and change the image of the street.
