@uncannysfvalley
I started my Instagram @uncannysfvalley in 2014. The project features digital collage works and GIFs created using only my iPhone. The pieces I post to this account are an ever-accumulating collection of material from all corners of the internet, sourced from Tumblr, Instagram, and Google. The collages serve as an intervention into the online representation of women. Using depictions of women often authored by men, I supplant their original meaning, recontextualizing them within a framework of my own imagination. I employ sparkly, pink, feminine coded aesthetics, which commonly inhabit a sexist association with cultural constructs of superficiality. @uncannysfvalley uses these aesthetics of surface material to subvert attachments of emotive representations of femme identity to frivolity, revealing a more thoughtful and sinister reality. These pieces are just 9 collages and 3 GIFs of the over 900 iPhone works produced over the years.
