“Fragmented Pulse”

“Fragmented Pulse”

Fragmented Pulse explores the fragmentation of identity in digital spaces through a series of 3D animated mannequins. Each mannequin performs different types of content, from dances and political statements to viral trends, reflecting the endless scroll of contemporary online life.

Presented through an interactive platform inspired by TikTok, the project allows viewers to swipe through animations, emphasizing how identity is continuously reshaped by digital performance and repetition. The mannequins, neutral and faceless, act as placeholders for the self—empty bodies filled with meaning by each new gesture, each new trend.

By cycling through content that feels both familiar and hollow, Fragmented Pulse critiques the ways digital platforms flatten expression, blur authenticity, and trap users in loops of performative engagement. The work invites reflection on how much of ourselves we leave behind in the scroll.
