Artist
@stinky.felix uses industrial machine knitting and sculptural textile construction to create uncanny three-dimensional bodies and oversized heads that feel simultaneously flesh-like and digitally engineered. Through machine-knit soft sculptures and synthetic “skins,” his work stages a tension between softness and infrastructure, asking how intimacy, embodiment, and identity are reshaped within increasingly mediated and technological environments.
IMPULSE writer
@parker.ewen writes: “The ‘serializing of the body’—the sense that bodies mean less in today’s digital world, and likely even less in the future’s—is a central pull for Beaudry . . . What does it mean to birth bodies that hold no agency? While serializing the body is removed, impersonal, Beaudry also shares that creating them can feel ‘god-like, even parental’—a big responsibility that places agency squarely back in human hands even as the mechanical world strips it away.”
Felix Beaudry’s works were recently on view at
