Gen(Self) New video music work!

As a millennial, I was among the first generation to grow up fully online and in the digital age. As I entered my teens and early adult years, it continued to grow as a source of news, entertainment, knowledge, and a place community — its impact growing on my life and others over time. While this brought with it countless benefits, exposing my generation to new ideas and creating relationships with people around the world, it has, especially in recent years, become more and more of a detriment to my own and others’ mental health, and impacting our outlook on the future of our species.

Gen(Self) is a self-portrait. Following in the tradition of many visual artists, this self-portrait examines my personal experiences and reactions to these changes in society brought about by rapid technological change. After being online for two and half decades, I’ve seen the changes occurring in real time, and it has begun to take its toll on me.
