The Armory Show<\/a>\u00a0announced on Monday the participating artists in the 2018 Focus<\/a> section, curated by\u00a0Gabriel Ritter. Opening March 7th, Focus will examine how technology has mediated representation of the physical body and its emancipation in contemporary art. The Focus section brings together 28 galleries presenting 34 artists from 18 countries, whose work spans nearly five decades of artistic practice. The featured artists broadly question how technology has reimagined the physical body\u2014as avatar, container, prosthesis, shell, surrogate, telepresence, or otherwise\u2014as well its ongoing ramifications for understanding the evolving human condition.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Elaborating on this year\u2019s theme, Ritter stated, \u201cToday we live multiple lives both online and in real life with elastic identities that are seemingly boundless, open to fluid representation and constant reinterpretation via technology. But can the same be said of our physical bodies? Despite technology\u2019s ever-quickening pace, we remain bound in many ways to our material bodies.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Below is a sneak peek at some of the ambitious presentations we’re looking forward to.<\/p>\n
