What does freedom look like and who the fuck gets to decide?
If I got to redesign the Statue of Liberty, this is what she’d look like, because freedom doesn’t mean what it used to, especially not online, where most of contemporary existence plays out.
I’ve had critics say my work is just shock for shock’s sake. That’s easy to say when you ignore its context.
I’m releasing this online, via distribution paths built to suppress anything that pushes too far (the social media platforms that govern our public lives).
Community guidelines aren’t just rules, they’re borders. And art like mine lives right on the edge of them. Most people would stop. I didn’t. I pushed harder. Even when it wrecked my reach due to algorithms out of my control. Even when I got flagged, banned, shadowbanned, throttled… whatever term they’re using now to bury things they don’t want seen.
Posting work like this doesn’t help my reach. It hurts. But the fact that it’s punished at all? That’s exactly why it needs to exist.
