Here you will find excerpts from my work on media, ritual, and identity.  It addresses the dramatic loss of self and rise of anxiety by fusing ourselves with our screens. In a sad irony, I show how anchoring ourselves to our devices actually unmoors us from the real.  These sections will allow the listener to understand how and why this fusion happens.  They will give a close-up look at the mechanism or process that brings about the loss of ourselves in a relationship with media.  The process engages us with digital spaces created in our minds, pixelated places where we have come to be comfortable.  My work investigates and explains how our rituals and identity have become reshaped by our salutations to media. Media, ritual, and identity have become meshed together in a way that is disturbing and pixilated or causing to be distorted.
