Up in the Cloud





Whose Cloud is it Anyway?

Whose Cloud is it Anyway? is a vital attempt to comprehend the digital landscape that exists above our heads. Vast amounts of our data, our social interactions and information increasingly exist in digital clouds. Even our books, films and art are being transferred and uploaded by Google and Apple, who now seek our trust in them as custodians to the future of our culture. This durational performance work is made up of that same information, relayed and remixed alongside multiple narratives exploring the necessity for human traces in this digital age. An absent father is manifest in the postcards he leaves as bookmarks and a woman silenced online protests atop a roof against an unjust regime.
