Individualism in the Zeitgeist

I made the decision to make a piece for the zeitgeist assignment. I'm not sure I entirely nailed what I was trying to say with the piece but I'm really happy with what I made.

When I think of the zeitgeist I can't help but to think about the Internet and the impact social media has on us - to the point of our own fertility. The irony of platforms designed to make us feel more connected and their effects. We feel socially satiated by our smart phones and feel no need for physical intimacy. I thought putting a smartphone user who is self aware in the garden of Eden with no eve and all ego would really help to illuminate the individualism of our times.

I think I didn't nail this because I asked to much of the viewer, I asked them to draw a few dots to get us to the garden of Eden.

Anyway I think the video is really great despite being slightly inaccessible.

Here are some stills and if you click on them you should be able to go through to the wonderful video.
