Title ︎︎︎ The Era of Hopeful Monsters
Everywhere you go on the internet you are dropping bits of data and personal information. Traces of your identity like digital breadcrumbs. But you do something similar in the real world too. The oil stain on the pavement where you habitually park your car, the dirt path cut through the vacant lot that you take as a shortcut to the neighborhood convenience store. You leave marks of yourself and your movements everywhere.
The Era of Hopeful Monsters looks at the marks we make on our environment on both a personal and cultural scale. From paved pathways cutting through a cave turned national monument, the skid marks of someone turning donuts in a parking lot, initials and love notes carved en mass in an old growth forest to a marble sculpture of a female torso-baring the smudges from accumulated fingerprints across her breasts and belly button.
