How much video is enough to communicate an idea? This piece explores digital minimalism, whereas technology advances forward towards higher fidelity, the bare minimum amount of information necessary is rarely questioned.
U+1F5D1 2017 24 color prints on copy paper, crumpled up and thrown away
Shot in an instagram format, this series of photographs documents the trash I accumulated over a month; these telling you as much about me as any self-portrait could. These were then printed out, crumpled up, and scattered across the room to force viewers to engage with the portraits as trash.
Information Insecurity 2017 Website
A website that reframed the assumed private nature of browsing on your computer as public by simulating a hacking situation. A relatively innocuous survey gets hijacked; information from the user, both provided and inferred from various public database hacks, is then used to mock and intimidate them. Even if the user reloads the page, the hacking continues. Once finished, the site permanently breaks itself, further emphasizing the fragility of digital spaces.
U+1F3F3 U+FE0F U+200D U+1F308 2017 Website
A site that tried to challenge the perception of digital art and media in contrast to traditional art. Random stock photography was framed and “hung” on a digital wall, mirroring the showcase of art in a museum. The photographs would “glitch” and with the statement “This isn’t art.” underneath it, also experiencing a visual glitch. THe only way to proceed was to challenge the visually questionable statment, hovering over it to change it to “This is art.” and clicking. The site eventually led to a showcase of intentional glitch art where the manipulation and intentional breaking of image data is used as part of the artistic process.
Untitled 2016 Pencil, wax crayon, and charcoal on 3x 12”x12” paper
One of my earliest pieces, in learning to draw on paper (what could be referred to as destructive) I wanted to try presenting some aspect of my digital background (comparatively nondestructive) in a physical form.
Some additional works can be found, along with some breakdowns, references, and processes, at my student blog.
