My performance art piece captures how I feel technology has influenced me. I had my friend Jacy bind herself with wire in public. The idea was that she knew exactly what she was doing and how the connectivity of technology physically bogs us down. Regardless of what gadget we have, we always need another. Whether we are weighed down by a laptop, cell phones, ipods, or a gps, we always crave for something more. But what happens when we pile on too much? How can we harness technology without tying ourselves up? Even though technology has gotten smaller physically, I feel mentally caught up with some form of technology all the time. Thats why I chose to go to the beach. Despite the idea that many go there to relax, most are still connected to the virtual web somehow. If our mind is tied up, how can we explore whats really in front of us?
