The CGI animation DICKGIRL 3D(X) (2016) features EVA v3.0, an avatar produced by freelance 3D designer Nikola Dechev, and purchased online by the artist. EVA v3.0 is a typical product of the commercial world of adult entertainment computer games, used by Meineche Hansen both as a main character in her animations and as an object in her research into the status and commodification of 3D bodies in X-rated digital image production. As DICKGIRL 3D(X), she is the porn star protagonist and post-human pleasure-seeker in an encounter with an unidentified submissive clay-like form. Directed by the artist and produced with digital arts studio Werkflow Ltd, DICKGIRL 3D(X) is presented on a flat screen TV suspended from a DIY BDSM structure, inspired by artists Sheree Rose and Bob Flanagan’s explicit, sadomasochistic practice. The post-human, digital, raw world of EVA v3.0 despite its materiality appears discordant towards anthropocene environmental concerns and structures, echoing times to come.
