Screen Walk with Laura Paloma
About this film
For the duration of this Screen Walk, Laura Paloma pretended to be a human and shared her many Facebook lives as ant, fish, screaming opossum, piece of bread, soccer mom, middle-aged dad. Her desktop performance explored the aesthetics and codes of Facebook role-playing groups by taking a closer look at how GIFs, memes, emojis, stock images are used to create social media identities and communities based on pretend…or whatever the humans say…Blub! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Screen Walks is a new series of live-streamed artist/researcher-led explorations of online spaces and artistic strategies designed to illuminate a thriving – often overlooked – digital cultural scene. A new online collaboration between The Photographers’ Gallery , UK and Fotomuseum Winterthur , Switzerland.
