bothered, tethered and willing

We have moved into an environment which is robustly connected and yet floating. Each string that connects us is elastic.

In Infomobility and Technics, Belinda Barnet points out that, "With every step, I emit a smog of data; my journey is being archived too.” This work is our investigation into the meaning and affect of being permanently altered, bothered, tethered and animated by our teleological devices through a series of exercises, both literary and performative. Paige Saez, Amber Case and Rebecca Steele have created a body of work inspired by the essay 'Infomobility and Technics' by Belinda Barnet. The work consists of a series of performances, attempts at visualizing the tension, weight and responsibility of always-on-constant-contact-never-forgetting-connectivity. These performances along with photographs, essays, videos, and conversations have become a book called Bothered, Tethered and Willing.
