this is still several years old, but it reflects some of the freer and more colorful aesthetics I’ve explored.  Unlike most the others, there are parts of this composition that I didn’t draw myself, but pulled from free online collections/stock things.

“rooms is a video collage composed of fragments of YouTube dance videos, in wich all the dancers have been removed. The empty rooms, where only the music is left, let the viewers to stare at one of the most intimate Youtube sides: the private spaces of thousands of internet users.”

Grasping the politics of your own invisibility

“… those artists who self-consciously choose to work on the outer margins of the mainstream art world for reasons of social, economic, and political critique. In a sense, these artists have learned to embrace their own structural redundancy, they have chosen to be “dark matter.” By grasping the politics of their own invisibility and marginalization they inevitably challenge the formation of normative artistic values. Here “politics” must be understood as the imaginative exploration of ideas, the pleasure of communication, the exchange of education, and the construction of fantasy, all within a radically defined social-artist practice.”

–Dark Matter: Art and Politics in the Age of Enterprise Culture. Gregory Sholette. 2011.

Take power back by using your invisibility in the art ecosystem to your advantage.
