CONSTELLATIONS OF PLACE AND SELF THROUGH TECHNOLOGY
IN THE ERA OF SOCIAL ISOLATION

With the ubiquitous nature of mobile digital technology and the onset of the pandemic, the medium of the internet has created a seismic shift in global culture, affecting how we interact with each other. This digital culture shift has changed our concept of time and space and shapes our reality by simultaneously blending physical and virtual spaces.

My honours research emerged from social distancing restrictions in Melbourne in 2020 and 2021. Stuck between a physical and virtual world, I created a series of collaborative, experimental live streaming gatherings that reveals an interconnected, interactive contemporary society through audience encounters.

These virtual encounters present as public artworks projected onto buildings and large screens in public spaces, becoming discursive objects to passers-by, and situations that act as open-ended scenarios blurring the boundaries between the observer and observed.

As this shifting distortion of our senses becomes increasingly more prevalent, investigating our place amidst the entanglement of the physical and virtual is crucial for situating contemporary culture.

I am an interdisciplinary artist currently living and working, with gratitude and respect, on the unceded lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nations.
