A few problems

Lukas Graf
Location: Gather Town
One’s own identity is constructed in dialogue with others. Hence, can one speak for oneself about oneself? This video creates a portrait emerging from messages of others, which have been captured as screenshots over the course of the last few years by the artist: An incomplete mashup of chats on Grindr & advices on Co-Star.
Messages on dating apps, personalised advertisements on social media, recipes found on websites, a recap of my taste in music over the year, and emails that were sent to me serve as a somewhat insufficient overview which questions self-authenticity and representation.
The script of the video solely stems from a patchwork of screenshots which unintentionally creates a personal narrative, allowing the viewer to empathise—despite the uncanny appearance of the character which guides viewers through a web of digital abstraction.
"Looking back on when we first met I cannot escape and I cannot forget Baby, you’re the one
You still turn me on
You can make me whole again
Recommended titles based on your interests are: ‘Burn-out is not only caused by stress’ as well as ‘Getting rid of panic attacks and other anxieties’.
Hey dear Lukas, a few problems and questions already appeared... It is time to stop talking about how you’d like to get well and just start. Try not to think yourself into a hole today."

Location: Gather Town “Information” showcases the threats created by the appalling misuse of modern technology in an ideological fight legitimized by the false dichotomy of freedom vs. security. It shifts the representational power from discourse dominating white men towards the expertise of women and people of colour.
