A millennial girl influenced by internet age is absorbed in queer beauty, but experiences a visceral response to addiction. After crumbling, she is liberated by various social movements as a source of independence. Tumblr has been a source for young girls to understand themselves, being a negative influence for issues like body image, addiction, and self-harm but a positive resource for queer theory, sexuality, black female spectatorship or “black girl magic”, and various social movements. Thus the dance moves us through the experience of adolescence through tumblr, largely influenced by tumblr aesthetic and culture.

An experimental abstract piece cultivated from three different live production sessions in which synthesized video images produced with Paracosm’s Lumen software were transferred to VHS tape, remixed through a circuit-bent Tachyons+ analog video processor and then subsequently reremixed back into a computer using Arkaos GrandVJ software. The title alludes to the signals going back and forth between digital and analog manipulations before arriving at the final composition as well as the solar/planetary images that emerge from the abstractions. Music: DG13817 by Production Unit Xero
