Rubble

Rubble is a conceptual performance project that experiments with the internet at its most reduced -- a 2-in-1 creative substrate and form of documentation. From modern social media content and comments to IRC, forums, tech support chat, applications, and complaint forms, there are guidelines, but ultimately anything can be posted anywhere. Cringe as the terms cyberspace and virtual world are, the terms are accurate in describing a communication architecture with vectors for socialization and multidisciplinary practices.

This project addresses a number of issues I find relevant to my art and educational philosophies:

• The use of data-entry forms as creative substrates
• The nature of audience / the viewer as it relates to fine art
• Internet culture
• Anti-documentation, anti-art, captive audience, display
• Relativistic anonymity and the way it highlights motivation and intention
• The link between anxiety relief, pseudo-aggression, and the ego
• The intrinsic absurdity of internet culture and digital persona as a vehicle for social commentary
• Trolling / catfishing as an effective tool for constructive and destructive activism and advocacy
  

Rubble is intrinsically anonymous and I'm currently unconvinced that it bears any identifiable fruit outside of my own conceptual space. As such I have no plans on publishing anything to do with it besides the text on this page.
