DescriptionIn the series of artworks titled “LETTERS” I investigate a variety of perspectives on the normative qualities and social effects of text-messaging. The character limit of 160 is one of the many contours that define this medium and the numerous usages and practices that have emerged from it. The aim of my works is to cause irritation and reflection through the dissonance between what is shown and the individual’s understanding, and expectations, of the system being negotiated—in this case text-messaging. The goal is not to create better solutions for problems or to convey a specific understanding, rather it is to signify aspects and elements of how a system constitutes itself and informs the perspective of its observers.
