Return To Invisible, background notes, part II

Thoughts circa 2017-2018, heading into the unknown

1. Two edges of the same sword: persistent visibility of the individual within a public space & erosion of personal mental space by way of excess available inputs

2. What impact does the lack of privacy have on the individual - how others see them, how they see themself. Although sharing is a choice, it has also become widely accepted as the norm.

3. An underlying feeling that something must have been lost to make space for this

4. A loss of time - to make things and experiment without the vague pressure to be constantly updating and updated; an insidious feeling that there must be constant progress

5. A loss of self - constant exposure leads to constant comparison which feels inescapable

6. Film as a proxy for privacy, cannot see what is inside until it is chosen to be revealed

7. Taking this idea and expanding it using time as a lever to recreate a more personal space, to revert to a place of sacred privacy, so I can hear myself again

8. Maintaining faith in things you can't see
