2018 in Review (Part Three)

I can’t believe this year is almost over. While there’s been many challenges in 2018, it has also been a rewarding year and I am simply grateful that I can keep doing my art. Here’s a recap of all that went down from September to December.

#Glitchbooth at Fu:bar 2018 and Blue \x80  \\\ this fall I got the chance to take #Glitchbooth to Zagreb and Paris to run the installation for the glitch art fam. This was the first time Boo and I went to Europe and for me, it was the first time I left the United States since becoming undocumented 18 years ago. I realized that the decade of undocumentedness and my experience with DACA has left scars and traumas that became apparent during these 3 weeks abroad. On top of that, the process of reentering the States was so nerve wracking. It’s staggering how unwelcoming the US is for anyone legally visiting from foreign countries, especially when compared to Europe. Regardless, the experience of showing at Fu:bar and Blue \x80 with so many glitch artists that I’ve been online friends with for years was so priceless and special <3 I can’t wait to do it again. The first #glitchbooth image is of the group at Fu:bar, the second is me and Kaspar Ravel dancing during Blue \x80.

magic  /// ROM Corruption of the Super Famicom game: Ghost Sweeper Mikami. I spent some time this fall playing Famicom games that weren’t released in the U.S. It is interesting how much easier it is to find female video game protagonists in Famicom games compared to SNES titles. It’s important to consider the degree of sexism involved in marketing and developing video games for American kids.

[My ] Synthetic Autumn, C36i \\\ .ply databending + z-fighting \\ I had some interest in my 2015 series, which prompted me to make some new pieces and edit some old ones

A Natural History of the PT Cruiser, Floral Arrangement (01)  \\\ New series that I started this month and which will go on into the new year. I’ve always been fascinated by PT Cruisers and how they went from “cool retro design” trendster in the early 00s to the washed up proletarian car of America. You can say that the PT Cruisers were the maga hats of the year 2000, the captured all the lies Americans tell themselves and that’s something worth exploring.

This month I am fortunate to take my #glitchbooth installation to Zagreb, Croatia at the  /’fu:bar/ 2018 festival October 6-12, followed by a trip to Paris, France at the Blue /x80 Glitch Art Exhibition October 18-21. This is such a dream come true, I am so grateful. Here is a video of the #glitchbooth in action at the ICA Boston <3
