Constructs and Context Relativity II (2021) is a three-channel experimental digital performance investigating how constructed systems in space inform one’s subjective experience. Through diaristic reflections, long-take improvisations, virtual participatory performance, and fantasy, I explore space as an abstract of codified systems that shape one’s modes of perception and perspective. The screen within this schema shifts meaning and context. Three CRT monitors placed side by side in the gallery transmit a distinct viewpoint that disrupts the linear processes of reading media. The narrative’s disintegration across three channels disorients the spectator’s spatial awareness to foster new dimensions of understanding. This disjuncture is integral to the film's premise as it provides space for the viewer to dissect immaterial and material systems in space that inform perceptual and subjective reality.

In a virtual performance conducted via zoom, participants examine how the body, in proximity to or in the distance from an object or other persons, informs communication in virtual and natural spaces. As prompt, each participant reads a statement. Utilizing the rules of space proxemics, each participant reconfigured their body and words to meet their proxemic zones: Intimate, Personal, and Social.
