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.
