Recently I misspelled “pretty” in a Google search. In light of my human mistake, my screen asked me, “Did you mean: pretty”? Using thread and tulle, I created a work that allows the audience to physically confront the questions & perceptions our devices constantly pose us. Whether we are scheduling increments of time into our calendars, relying on digital reminders for our day-to-day, or infinitely scrolling through pixelated information, our dependence on technology has infiltrated the basic moves & mannerisms of our humanity. Social media has similarly developed into a depository for our personality, perceptions, & expectations. Instead of internally developing our dreams and sense of self, social media - and consequently technology - has done the work of telling us what is acceptable, honorable, and wanted. How are we depositing our sense of self throughout the internet & in social media? How much agency do these devices have over our perceptions of ourselves & the people around us?
