Two 40 inch TVs displaying nine repeating gifs, behind a plywood board.
In this piece of work I collaged photographs and digital drawings to make GIFs. The fun and colourful gifs are on a loop, dancing to the electronic music of a nearby stage. Their bright persona is reminiscent of dopamine, creating a trance-like effect.
Whilst these GIFs are fun, I appreciate their ability to overwhelm. This worked for their installation at Boomtown; they were placed in the festival district Metropolis, which is described as a dystopian "tech-topia" which invites visitors the "transcend into the digital realm". It speaks of the allure of technology and its potential negative affects.
