THE ULTIMATE Love for Technologies of Loathing 35

THE ULTIMATE [Love for Technologies of Loathing] is a body of work consisting of dozens of scans. These images are performative self-portraits triggered by an automated script. I performed over the course of several hours in front of an old scanner that allowed me to have one portrait scanned for over thirty minutes in high resolution. The work addresses our contemporary culture of vicious consumption cycles: constant self-representation to self-loathing in the context of validation on repeat.
