Due to early internet access, my identity and image has been found scattered along the internet’s tracks and, whether I have control or not, is one with the expansive nature of the internet’s information theory age. How do I make peace with this, and how can I idealize a space in which my intimacy is no longer treated as one of the internet’s many hidden guilts?
Utilizing 3D meshes and image textures, SEX-EVERYTHING-ONLINE places royalty-free images found on the and inspired by early 2000s internet in a 3D isometric view, constructing a makeshift home of three planes that are randomly textured using Blender and a generative Python sketch. Showcasing a new space in which marginalized bodies are not solely perceived in the ‘outskirts’ of the internet, only as sexual or perverse in nature, but instead living alongside the rest of the digital age’s vapidness, a collage of photos found on internet repositories utilizing keywords central to my identity visualizes an absurd representation of my ‘digital’ footprint. The generative nature of this work relays the expansiveness and lack of control that I have over my identity on the internet, in which the act of making this piece repeatable and include multiple outputs removes a sense of control I have over its articulation of parts of my life, how its perceived, and its evolvement into its own identity through recurring imagery and phrases found on assets.
