“findingtrackzero” is a research and exploration project that comments on data consumption in a world where streaming entertainment takes up a majority of power consumption. With this video series, the artist reflects upon the importance of data and the complexity of care in creating digital artifacts that are meant to be cherished and acknowledged.
“After my initial period of loss, isolation and mourning, I focused on my artistic practice carrying forward existing projects and adapting them into my new life of social distance in a digital arts community. […] This ironically named series of short works totalling 45 minutes takes inner reflections and brings them out into view. Some videos are edited from footage that has lived on hard drives for more than a decade while others were filmed at my kitchen table or in my backyard.”
