Entirely composed from appropriated computer-generated imagery, No Body is a macabre creation myth for the digital age. In the video disparate found imagery is composed with apparent continuity, suggesting a single form which is under the perpetual threat of modification and punishment by its unseen creator. Conceived as a never-ending loop, the work depicts the cruel life cycle of a virtual entity who is infinitely bound to its domain, unable to die or delete itself.
