The Internet has opened the door into our most private spaces and virtuality has infiltrated our bodies, merging reality and fiction. The first cam-girls of the 90s were important early examples of how the internet could create a cyborg subject by integrating human images with the internet, setting the conversation regarding the relationship of technology and gender, sex and the performative body. By merging art, technology and participatory design, the «Syntia_cam» is a commentary on sex workers’ evolving relationship with digital media and its impact on their daily lives. The project aim to create a new visual experience that challenges traditional notions of representation and perception, blurring the boundaries between reality and virtuality.
