Description
Better Off Alone is an installation work and permanent chatroom which uses Blu Mar Ten’s sample pack “jungle jungle“ to sonify a chatroom. Displayed on the wall are the artist’s collection of YMCA Indian Princesses, Pocahontas, and rave memorabilia. (from Suzanne Kite’s website).
Discussion Questions
- What does loneliness sound like in a digital context?
- How do distinctly digital experiences like chat rooms recontextualize how humans combat loneliness in the 21st century?
- What is the relationship between loneliness or loner culture and philosophies like capitalism? How do loneliness and kinship transform with Indigenous epistemology and ethics in mind?
