Visual Interference
Visual Interference explores how concert audiences digitalize their experiences through their phones. Using photography, digital manipulation, and data collected from six live shows, I examine how the act of recording has become central to how we experience live music. Influenced by the writings of Roland Barthes, this work questions whether we are present at performances or performing our presence for others. By isolating raised phones in the crowd, the images critique the evolving role of documentation in our digital lives.
