The reading Ripping Reality describes how translated objects from the real to the digital are inevitably losing parts of themselves through the translational process. These translated objects are then only a former illustrated version of themselves, thus making us no longer an exhibitor to these pieces, but the performer. Our project “Transmutational Matter” takes a similar approach in context to the artifacts that we are given by the Penn Museum and tries to invoke a conversation in what it means to replace representation with replication.
