(Cobwebs Spun Back & Forth In The Sky) (2022)

A montage of videos culled from various social media platforms including Instagram, TikTok, Tumblr, and Twitter, set to a medley of Philip Glass compositions originally featured in the 1982 Godfrey Reggio film 'Koyannisqatsi.' The videos sampled in 'Cobwebs' were not sought out for any specific purpose by the artist, but rather were selected surreptitiously by the artist 'liking' them during time spent using social media. By means of social media platforms’ function of providing the user with a catalogue of 'liked' posts, the artist inadvertently created an archive of their experience being online via the casual act of 'liking'. Thus, the work exists both as a sort of self portrait of the artist's life online and simultaneously as a portrait of the internet as a whole.
