On Display/For Review (OD/FR) is a digital residency/think tank culminating in a series of commissioned digital projects that interrogate, intervene, and are tangential to social media, its limits, and boundless possibilities. L0ve2Watch is a digital media project in response to my experience with limerence online. Through this work, I explore different forms of sharing and, at times, over-consuming people online.
An attempt to articulate the feeling of falling too deep into someone online. The longing for their longing. The need to be seen, assured and understood. A craving for understanding, and admiration.
To watch and be seen.
When you can’t look away because of love, curiosity and boredom.
An intimate archive of my experience with watching and wanting to be watched/seen. Part of a larger body of work, CAM+4 is one of six screen recordings I created in attempt to embrace and understand my feelings of limerence and longing. I’m not obsessed or crazy, I just want to be seen, understood, admired and loved.
