The Web Jacket is representative of a digitally enslaved body who has moved to the internet – a kind of ‘permanency’ in the virtual world, while still offline. It is inspired by a straitjacket. Mbikayi relates to it as a schizophrenic personality that he inevitably experiences daily within a virtual world. Like many people, he is anxious not to miss out on news, updates and fashions, and so feel the need to stay online through a cell phone, which qualifies him as a web addict!
