let me share my screen with you // 2020

Password: share my screen (no spaces)

There’s a level of intimacy involved in watching someone else’s screen. In this process, their thought process is exposed, you can see their pauses, revision, and self-editing. This method of communication directly contrasts the “past-tense” experience that digital communication often prescribes; where you see text that was written or a picture that was taken. The screen recordings are a performance of present-tense engagement -strictly aware of what it cannot replace.

In this interactive project, I present the audience with variable degrees of choice and access. The audience must feel through the project and experimentally determine the boundaries that have been set for them. Through the use of broken intentionally broken, protected, looped, or in other ways uncooperative pages, I explore the contradictions and limitations presented in themes of freedom of choice and public access (starting with the password above!).

One of my most favorite and funky projects :)
