I WAS BORN BEFORE COMPUTERS. NOW THEY SEND ME ADVICE

This is a short record junk mail during its early years. In 2016 over half of all emails were junk. Many were created by computers. I found this evolving base language fascinating as it wrestled with attempts to sound human and attract interest in humans. I was also interested in preserving them for the effects they had on me at the time. How they momentarily pulled me in even though they meant nothing.

TROUBLE IN THE MESSAGE CENTRE

The street often feels like an oracle. This is a collection of photographs that focuses on the little ephemeral details of everyday life at a time when nothing feels normal about everyday life. I record them because I find them funny and disconcerting at the same time. I want to laugh, but am not sure about laughing. Only time will tell.
