Windows XP Performer
​Photographic, recorded and performed series

Picture
'If you are not paying for the product you are the product. ... It's the gradual, slight, imperceptible change in your own behaviour and perception that is the product.'
​- Jaron Lanier, computer philosophy writer, computer scientist and a founder of virtual reality  
(2020) ‘Windows XP Performer’ replicates and contemporarily alters the classic ‘hill and sky’ Windows97 background. As an embodied performer the artist exists in an altered reality in-between humanity, technology and nature, where time is looped. 
 
Ellen humanises the microsoft windows logo and makes visible how augmented we are by framing the hill and sky background as her home that she must wake and perform on a continuous loop.
