Living in a Blur

Home confinement has collapsed one’s assumptions of spatiality and one’s sense of time. When sight is separated from body, what one could see is a lone figure, slumped onto a chair, with fast typing fingers. Intruded by a global pandemic, all kinds of sociability have been moved online, whilst the feeling of FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) continues. Using the webcam and the video conferencing application as filming tools, the artist’s body as props, and his room as scenography, Living in a Blur is an audio-visual hybrid of workout-from-home and ASMR (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response) videos for those who suffer from productivity anxiety. The audiovisual installation consists of a minimum of one to a maximum of twelve screens.
