Dear Mr Zuckerberg (Interview) 2020
My Instagram feed is a correspondence with Mark Zuckerberg. Given that he profits from my online activity, this work highlights the servitude connecting us. My letters cover everything from data privacy and surveillance capitalism to everyday trivia and reflections from the bathtub. Submitting to his obligation to connect and share, this work operates as a kind of radical obedience.
For this chapter of the ongoing work, I engaged him in conversation over Instagram Live. Having received significant media attention, this interview was hotly anticipated. Unfortunately things didn’t quite go to plan: following a series of technological hitches, the interview descended into fiasco.
Staged during the Covid lockdown, this performance set out to challenge the promise of social media. In place of sharing and connection, the audience witnessed a moment of embarrassment, shame and disconnection.
