Grimes is an example of an artist who created new persona separated from existing human’s body through sound. With human’s body come limitations and expectations from society. There is no freedom when we are trapped in cage of what people think we should do and who we should be. Sound is about designing new reality based on our artistic vision. Liberty and room to develop are essential. As Grimes said: “humans need to put humans in boxes. Therefore I would like a non-human self that more easily escapes the boxes”. With separating personal life and art comes freedom and space for creating, we can see that mostly in artist adopting their stage name. Singer not only did that but also adopted completely new artistic body called “WarNymph”. Grimes accurately pointed out that:” The avatar allows us to play to the strengths of digital existence rather than be human trying to navigate a world that isn’t made for us”. With alternative persona comes alternative world which we need to understand in order to appreaciate.
