Curated with Never At Home  and shown as part of the Wiener Festwochen, my body is a temple took histories of biomedical visualization as a starting point to propose speculative visions of how technology shapes visual and spatial conceptions of internal bodies, whether human, artificial, animal or something in between. The title takes inspiration from a digital mantra often associated with #selfcare that linguistically suggests a body as something that can be stepped inside.

In this exhibition, designed in close dialogue with the architecture of Austria’s oldest broadcasting center, the former ORF funkhaus, three bodies are entered: the office of the vagina of an ai sex doll vagina, the artificial womb producing lab grown meets, and the body of whale(sounds).
