What does time make possible here that a still image could not hold?

Begin with the image, then return to the label, material, scale, duration, and collection context. The work becomes clearer as these clues begin to connect.

Look With This Work

Attention as a digital performance

Miao Ying turns livestreaming, online comments, likes, and digital attention into material for the work. The result is humorous and absurd, but it also asks how people watch others and construct themselves online. Traffic, performance, and reality begin to overlap until the border between lived experience and manufactured illusion becomes unstable.
