Ekua is a cursed participant in online identity. 'The other side of the curse is the blessing' is how Ekua describes the technological development of the Internet, and Ekua confronts current situation with the same attitude. Ekua explores the possibilities of the Internet's extended reality in her own particular capacity, combining post-humanism and cyborgs to create a performance art practice that explores how the existence and life of virtual identities can survive in the outside world from the internet perspective.
