Feed Me (2015)

Rachel Maclean

How do we verify our own self-worth in today’s media-rich environments? In Rachel's fairy-tale slum populated by sinister surveillance toys, infantilised adult ‘beasts’ and sexualised children, the fabrication of happiness and a society obsessed by social media feedback loops are explored through multiple emoji-fied and text-speak narratives. Ghastly characters communicate through a variety of networked and seeing systems in pursuit of the unattainable.
