Sympoietic Bodies is an artistic-philosophical project presented through the medium film, which explores the disruption of the boundaries between the human body and its social and physical surroundings.

Different technologies have been involved in the process, such as digital camera, motion capturing, photogrammetry, point cloud scan, kinect camera.
