Soliloquy, Martine Syms

For the video series Kita’s World, Syms created a digital avatar modeled on Cita of Cita's World, the late-1990s BET music video show. Kita is recast in contemporary scenarios, considering the problem of the psychosomatic slip in the digital era, or the psychoanalytic eeriness of a nightmare, or leading the viewer in a meditation. In the series, Kita enacts the performances of everyday life in a hyper-digitized world. The character’s roles range from meditation guru to cultural commentator, elaborating on questions of race, gender, and technology prevalent throughout the artist’s practice. In these video works, Syms creates an environment in which being human is inextricably linked to the impact and interruptions of technological innovation.
