Combining a digital art series with video art, the work humorously questions the power of consumerism in the post-internet age. The videos explore the current state of our hyper-connectivity while the digital art series focuses on internet aesthetics and its relationships with modern art. ‘Digital garbage’ (screenshots, personal photos and unused selfies), is used, further incorporating popular meme aesthetics.
