So happy to announce I’m releasing a second edition of my baby “How Tiffany Pollard Built the Internet: Representations of Simulacra, Virtuality & Black Femme Identity on the Internet and its Art.” This new publication is printed by Thickly Settled Press in collaboration with the Arts League (@artsleaguephl) . I’m having a release party the day before my birthday to celebrate and sell a few copies. There will be lite bites and refreshments, as well as a tech-inspired set from Foxy Nora (@foxy.nora), followed by a short presentation and conversation with Hallé Ahmaddiya (@drnukx) discussing themes explored in the zine. Link in my bio to come hang!
Initially released in 2021, How Tiffany Pollard Built the Internet argues that the internet is a hyperreality, inherently warped by the distortion of any colonized space, but also a home that holds the potential to transcend the oppressions of our in real life (IRL) bodies. In this piece Tiffany Pollard acts as a stand in for generations of Black women and femmes who simultaneously represent the internet’s potential for oppression and liberation.This work introduces the various ways artists utilize the digital realm to present the experiences of their real world bodies, digital subconscious, and hopes for the future. The limited-run first edition was collected by many, including the School of the Art Institute of Chicago’s Joan Flasch Artists’ Book Collection.
