You and I (2022) is a live art performance that engages the concept that technology is humanity’s established method for perceiving the world and, in turn, our technology becomes ourselves and our world. In it, the artist watches a Youtube live stream of their vision on a TV while sitting and wearing a handmade VR headset, allowing the artist to experience real life through the glitchy nuances of the internet. The performance investigates the alternative forms of perception and embodiment that can evolve through digital technology.
