DIGITAL COLLAGE

AS A FIRST-GENERATION INTERNET NATIVE I HAVE GROWN TO SEE MY OWN LIFE REFLECTED IN THE DISPARATE, INFINITELY RANDOM CONTENT FOUND THERE. THESE COLLAGES, MADE ENTIRELY OUT OF FOUND IMAGES FROM THE WEB, ARE ATTEMPTS TOWARDS SYNTHESIZING SOME SORT OF MEANING OUT OF THAT CHAOS.

SCREEN CAPTURES

THESE PIECES ARE AN EXPLORATION OF THE RESTRICTIONS IMPOSED UPON OUR EXPERIENCE OF INFORMATION BY THE FORMAT OF THE MODERN COMPUTER - BY INCORPORATING THE COMPUTER DISPLAY ITSELF INTO THE WORK.

NARCISSISM SKETCHES

"The digital Narcissus replaces the triangular Oedipus…the clone will henceforth be your guardian angel…consequently you will never be alone again."

– Jean Baudrillard

THE NARCISSISM SKETCHES REPRESENT AN ATTEMPT TO SYNTHESIZE AN EGO, OR SELF-IMAGE, IN AN AGE WHERE WE ARE DEFINED BY OUR RELATIONSHIP TO OUR TECHNOLOGY AND SOCIAL NETWORKS.
