Marcin Ratajczyk
(b. 2002, PL) is a media artist currently studying at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna. Their practice centers around creating immersive worlds as a means to both document reality and imagine alternative ones. Working across mediums such as generative AI video, 3D graphics, traditional video, and game engines, he explores the intersections of technology, storytelling, and virtual space.
Session
This performative lecture by SOLID FLESH Collective explores how generative AI can reshape historical body representations into tools for imagining new bodily futures. Drawing from Muybridge’s chronophotography, which fixed bodies into a rigid scientific grid, we investigate AI’s capacity for fluid, multidimensional embodiment. Using open-source AI models to ‘resurrect’ Muybridge’s subjects and defy commercial censorship, we reveal speculative possibilities for bodily motion and identity. Our work positions the ‘vector body’—a digitally-mediated form of self-imagination—within a broader conversation on identity fluidity, algorithmic embodiment, and liberating futures beyond conventional body ideals.
