Description

“Noli me tangere, ego sum hypertext” translates to “Don’t touch me, I am hypertext.” This title captures the essence of the concept of “Noli me tangere” and reinterprets it in the context of hypertext and digital art. The title suggests that the digital self, or the self that exists in the digital realm, is a hypertextual entity that cannot be touched or physically interacted with. This echoes the idea that our digital interactions are fleeting and ephemeral, and that our digital selves are constantly evolving. The use of “ego sum” (I am) in the title adds a sense of agency and self-awareness to the digital self, suggesting that the digital self is a conscious entity that is aware of its own hypertextual nature. One can discern between the lines the correlation with Baudrillard's theory of the simulacrum, he argues that our postmodern society is characterized by the proliferation of simulations, which have replaced reality. In the context of digital art, this means that the digital representation of reality has become more real than reality itself. The title "Noli me tangere, ego sum hypertext" can be seen as a manifestation of this logic of "simulacra", where the digital self is a simulation of the real self, and the digital representation of touch and intimacy is more real than the physical experience of it. In this sense, the title can be seen as a commentary on the era of digital art, where the boundaries between reality and simulation are constantly blurred. The digital self is a hypertextual entity that is constantly rewritten and reconfigured, and the digital representation of touch and intimacy is a simulation more real than the physical experience of it. The concept of “Noli me tangere” takes on a new meaning in this context, as it highlights the impossibility of true touch and intimacy in the digital realm. The digital self is a simulation that cannot be touched or physically interacted with, and the digital representation of touch and intimacy is a simulation that is more real than the physical experience of it. This correlation between the concept of “Noli me tangere, ego sum hypertext” and Baudrillard’s simulacrum, as well as the era of digital art, raises important questions about the nature of reality and simulation in the digital age. 3840 x 2160 px / 4K mp4 / 45 s / 56,6 Mo / 12 frames 1/1 collection 02/50 #simulacra a subrealist reread based on the masterpiece by : Christ Appears to Mary Magdalene on Easter Morning (Noli me tangere) Jan Brueghel le Jeune, Pierre Paul Rubens - 1626 Original works On view at : Kunsthalle Bremen, Allemagne
