STATEMENT
Parting from the premise that communication is the basis of all relationships, my work is about communications in the era of technology. Man is by nature social, and with the invention of technological gadgets people are becoming more and more isolated, alienating themselves through machines.
In The Webcam Project one can se how the technology has the lure of no social restrains at the price of no physical possibilities, creating an overwhelming sexual tension in Webcam Communities throughout the web.
The basic human needs are evidenced in True, as my subjects talk about their dreams, who they think they are and what they think they want, in an attempt to find meaning and love in popular dating websites. In True my subjects market themselves as best they can with the hopes of finding true love, and by doing so reveal an issue known only in modern times. For this project I have taken both images and text from popular dating websites.
Technology not only changes they way people interact; it is even changing the linguistics of the technological realms. In The Search Project, a study of identity and semantics, I am creating a visual dictionary of the 21st century; one determined by the collective notion of a word or name gathered from popular web search engines.
