Sitting Fairly Still

Sitting Fairly Still is a series in which a program tracks my movement as I sit for an indeterminant amount of time. My subtle twitches and the undulation of my breath are my paint brushes. This work shares a line of thought with Jenny Odell’s book How to Do Nothing: Resisting the Attention Economy. From which I learned the radical idea that doing nothing can be used as an antidote to negative effects capitalism and patriarchy have on a person. This series is on-going and continues to help me through dark periods during Trump's presidency.
