Vocoders (2)
I decided to revisit the earlier vocoder videos, and experiment with changing the lyrics of the songs, using technical terms associated with computer technology, to make them even more unfamiliar and corrupted from their original sentiment
Installation (2)
For my second experiment in installation, I did a live digital sound performance, in which I skyped called some of my classmates. Again the connectivity issues, Feedback, technical problems made it difficult to comprehend the monologe, which is what I wanted, because it enacts the issues that my work deals with - By highlighting the inadequacies of digital communication as a compensation for bodily proximity.
I'm interest in having a live digital element and having the viewer to have to receive the work via the internet in the gallery space.
I am aware the way the skype/Sound piece was carried out here was clunky, so I'm trying to find a way I could hyperlink and preform something like this in a gallery space, so that users can interact.
Installation (1)
I'm really concerned with finding a way to install my work (particularly my video pieces) that is faithful to the digital nature of the work. I defiantly feel I'm challenged with trying to install digital work in a physical space.
I began by looking at object hyper-linking in the real world as a possible way to display the work, I used QR codes to hyperlink my video pieces to the gallery space.
I was happy with how people engaged with the installation. Because people had to view it on their phones, and because of WIFI connectivity issues, it really enacted its subject matter in the space.
it also worked dualy as a sound piece.
I now know these are features I'd like to be present in the final way a decide to install the work.
However,I'm not really happy with using QR codes, as it was brought to my attention that they are already considered to be a slightly archaic technology.
Data Bending and Glitch/Techno-visual Poetry
Data bending is prominent process in my current practice. Data-bending is the purposeful creation of glitches or malfunctions in a media file, by manipulating it or reinterpreting it from one file format to another.
this process works for me as a tool to express the inadequacy of this media as a surrogate for bodily presence or as a proxy for meaningful communication.
I've experimented with data bending images, videos and sounds, but I am most interested in using this process to create Glitch/Techno-visual poetry.
I then experimented with creating poetry , using exclusively sentences found on comment sections of websites.

So far I've experimented with the simple format of the haiku.
These poems try to exemplify the unique behavior and language that occurs when people become detached or disembodied from their person in digital space.
