What happens to our relationship with ourselves when more and more of our lives are experienced through screens?
I Forgot What Interests Me is a poetic exploration of the mental and physical alienation that arises while the flood of digital information is no longer accompanied by sensory experiences through which we usually understand the world.
The work lingers on our everyday gestures of touching the virtual world and the subtle visual and haptic feedback that attempts to make up for the richness of physical sensation. Clicking. Scrolling. Tapping. A constant craving, an addiction to the tiniest forms of physical feedback that we can get out of our devices.
