Call and Response
2018

Living in an era of constant accessibility has removed a layer of privacy that was taken for granted prior to smart phone technology. An abundance of information and media outreach, from friends and family to major corporations has left the individual with a new responsibility of engagement at all times. We find ourselves in two places, longing for constant interaction and instant gratification, or obsessing over perfect representations of ourselves through words and images that will last in the digital cloud, long past our lifespans. The anxiety that pours out of these dilemmas is undeniable and unifiable across the spectrum. These floating luminescent bubbles, glowing like LED screens and mimicking the two dimensional iphone chat in a tactical form, explore this emotional human experience. The call, an abundant herd that blinks with urgency is suspended above our heads and out of touch, and a frantic response, neither word or image, is nestled low to the ground, vulnerable and unprotected by a thin screen.
