Digital Violence
December 15, 2024
This is probably the work I'm most proud of right now. It's my first
piece that felt really complete, and comparable to the work of art I admire.
This piece is about autism, and autistic shutdown. The text is a bunch
of (kind of) Java exceptions. It starts by warning that there isn't enough
memory allocated, which I related to going into a situation without enough
energy (social, physical, etc.) to make it through. Then there's a
StackOverflowException, recieving an infinite/too many inputs and not being
able to deal with it. This causes the machine to run out of memory, and the
Java Virtual Machine (read: the mask) is shut down.
sometimes i think of myself as a machine.
and life as a sort of digital violence.
