The digital age represents a radical shift in communication, and I wonder sometimes if I’m only imaging traces of the analog codes in fugitive glimpses through the blur. Are they reconstituting? When I hit Sniffies, past and present collapse. My moves may be pixelated but they’re not random, ok Gurrrl? I seek to carry over the analog ethos into digital spaces. Like in the Ramble when I’d hover near street-lamps or moonlit spots, online I need more than darkness can offer, even a little glimmer beyond the screen.”
My essay appears in Issue 4 of Fruitslice, an indy queer magazine out of Los Angeles. I attended the Issue Launch Party at The Friend in Los Angeles and it was a whole vibe. Thanks to Chloe Oloren, to the design team for the fab layout, and to Michael Bednar for the thoughtful edit.
