Final Project Artist Statement

Poems included:

When it's not even who you want(ed) it to be
The joke's on you babe
Living with the hope that careful placement
Will make paths cross in fate or circumstance
Does it work?
Yes love, do you believe in either?
Because you always seem disappointed

A child can only be told so many times
That you don't believe in them
or that you don't think they are capable
Before they crack
or decide that your opinion no longer matters

I just want to see you.
Anywhere.

How can you expect
Me to be perfect
If you are the person
Who showed me imperfection
In the first place

Minimizing our differences only hurts
Those who are minimized
because of difference.

My God has a sense of humor
And life is his performance art.

Inspirations:

Jenny Holzer's "Projections" and "Painted Signs"
Chris Marker's "La Jetée"

Statement:

I am fascinated by how words can challenge physical space limits in the 2D digital world. I wanted my language to encompass space through the images that they are made visible by and the process through which they are made accessible. I formed the words out of photographs that I've taken over the past year, with each new line able to access by zooming in for a close up within its proceeding line. Making the reader put in effort to view the piece in full calls for recognition of the distribution of labor in the relationship between maker and spectator and reproduces the anxiety of potential incompletion that I experience in the process of making.

An often overlooked factor of the integration of media with life is the ability to analyze technology as both the process through which it is created as well as the implications of is use and inclusion in daily activities. Following the first wave of digital technologies with the turn of the millennium that introduced computers to normalized household usage, one could consider the current decade as a second wave in digital history that marks full normalization and mobilization of computer devices. What was once script on a screen that requires human interpretation has since developed into computers that resemble and perform like human, simultaneously simplifying and complexifying one’s day, which humans become increasingly dependent on. In Aurature at the End(s) of Electronic Literature, John Cayley focuses on reading and how electronic technologies have reduced the need for humans to read, and potentially the need to learn how to read, because we have electronics that rea...
