The COVID-19 pandemic made the first few years of the 2020s a strange time. "Plastic" seeks to comment on how the changes we made to our lives to protect our communities had the side effect of making social interactions stilted and weird, alienated from what we are used to.

I created the plastic suit by tying together nearly 1,000 plastic food handling gloves, which are similar to the ones many people used to protect themselves at the start of the pandemic. I wore the suit out to a strip mall and acted as if this was normal, to capture authentic reactions from other shoppers. I had never done a performance in public before, so this was well out of my comfort zone. I think it was well worth it, as the reactions from strangers really solidified the concept of the piece in an interesting and dynamic way.

The Digital Junkyard is an imaginary space based on the degradation and "enshittification" of internet life. Once a place of connection, unprecedented information access, and radical self-expression, the systems and platforms that make up the World Wide Web have been bought up and consolidated by gargantuan tech companies who gutted and morphed them to maximize profits instead of maximizing purpose. Now flooded with AI slop, ragebait, and political propaganda and controlled by mysterious algorithms the incentivize low-effort "content" production and encourage anger and divisiveness, the internet feels more like a depository for a unique brand of garbage rather than the authentic web of connections it could have been.

Creo que openSUSE Tumbleweed es el gran tapado del Linux Gaming, y es que me sorprende que un sistema así esté pasando tan inadvertido, sobre todo viendo que es rolling release y bleeding edge y combina esos dos factores con YaST, un potente panel de control a nivel de administrador que es la mejor solución disponible para Linux dentro de su terreno.
