The work, titled “Undefined” is an audiovisual exploration of what it means to define the self in a media-heavy, consumerist audiovisual world. Since the turn of the millennium, our reliance on audiovisual means of expression has soared to unprecedented heights, with the rise of social media, instant communication, and artificial intelligence. The room one has to find themselves—to define who they are not only in relation to the perception of others, but who they are to themselves—is increasingly narrowed. Instant gratification has extended beyond media into our view of others; we want to understand the most about others in the least amount of time.
UNDEFINED was performed live at the University of Southern California utilizing a variety of speakers and projectors set around a performance studio.
