IMMORTAL CLICKSTREAM uses my browser history as source material for a series of mixed media works exploring meaning and identity in a world overburdened with data and indiscriminate visual noise. Images related to my internet search history are archived and re-interpreted into works where juxtaposed elements form equivocal, non-linear relationships. The project examines the all-pervasive nature of the internet in visual culture and aims to interrogate both the world around and within me. Mediums used are drawing, painting, digital print, collage and found objects and I am guided by rhizomatic principles of connection, entanglement and heterogeneity in the composition.
