The Blob
We no longer have power over our data. Now, terror has no shape. The blob creeps, watches, consumes. Bloated with the data from its victims!
The Blob gives form to that which is hidden; the network of actors that control the online realm, sustained by a constant stream of our data. This disgusting group consumes from every angle, taking that which is ours to fuel profit for themselves. The Blob puts these individuals on display. Aiming to reveal social media as one of the channels that feeds the blob, showing the repulsive reality which is purposefully obfuscated.
Yasmin L Jones creates interactive installations and post-photographic objects. Current work explores who or what shapes the digital realm and the �real’ impacts of the internet by agents of surveillance capitalism. These visualisations both reveal and hide obfuscated realities, using the hidden aspects to start conversation around the intentionality surrounding what is undisclosed. Yasmin holds an undergraduate degree in photography from Birmingham City University, and has recently completed the Tropical Lab international art residency in Singapore.
