Confusion between the real and its representation explodes into a surreal echo chamber. Complicating identity, compulsive performativity, voyeurism, and the production of self, these movies look at how and why permission is granted into private – yet also very public – online lives. From YouTube articulations of trauma to televised family traditions, protagonists navigate the captcha, webcam, selfie stick, and an endless circulation of images within the claustrophobic enclosure of liquid crystal screens.
