title = "The burden of selfhood",
abstract = "The Burden of Selfhood is an interdisciplinary performance artwork exploring the intersection of feminism, identity and technology. By connecting methods from cognitive science, music, poetry, video and performance art, we investigate the experience of viewing and being viewed as a gendered body. Technology has accelerated the recursive gaze to the point that we continually perform and project back onto each other our internalized expectations for unattainable perfection. This poly-vocal performance uses large-scale data visualizations and live performers to make explicit both the collective gaze and the implicit impact of being seen. Select portions of the performance can be found at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPk2JSt-e9Q https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1DXmiBU-3w.",
