︎Weight of a Cloud
What possibilities open up when we allow ourselves to chase phantoms? Can the digital ever help us reconcile the persistence of the unknown? This site catalogs a series of inquires. Using the internet to talk about the internet, can we understand better our connection and discorrelation from pervasive technologies, hidden histories and one another?
The ghost points out the paradox of the invisible but perceptible. This is a space that holds a lot and feels real, and yet is so easy to ignore and deny, barely existing in a highly quantified society. To be unobserved means to be without data, and to be without data is to be unimportant. In a time where we are observed, reduced to data, and sold back our identities, I want to understand this unknown, uncomfortable space better.

I’m a artist & researcher based in Brooklyn. I’m a dogless dog-lover who’s spent quarantine watching true crime documentaries, fantasizing about traveling back to Greece and researching the spike in UFO sightings. I like to waste time on eBay.
