Plexus Projects is pleased to present a solo exhibition of work by Alexandra Neuman. InfoSphere will be featured in Vitrine, an ongoing screening series of moving image artworks.

In the two-channel video InfoSphere (2019, 2:37 min.), two human bodies are interconnected via a constant stream of blue fluid or life force, forming a cohesive circuit powered by the sun. The tube penetrates the skin of the bodily forms at various energetic centers, including the heart, coccyx, navel, and pineal gland. While the micro-event at play is the energetic interconnection between two bodies, the macro-event is the transmission that this interaction emits into the larger cosmic plenum, the stamp of each body's corporeal and psychical data.

Alexandra Neuman is a New York-based visual artist working in film, video, and performance. Drawing on elements from posthumanism, cognitive science, and philosophy of mind, she is currently focusing on the ways in which emerging technologies both inform and complicate questions regarding the nature of self and the extension of thought beyond the individual brain and body. She received a BFA in Visual Arts and Anthropology from Sam Fox School of Art and Architecture at Washington University in St. Louis and is currently pursuing an MFA in Visual Arts at UC San Diego.
