    “You Are What They Say You Are” is an interactive projection installation reflecting the influence of digital discourse on identity. A microphone captures spoken words, sometimes misinterpreting them, and converts them into text on the projection. As participants move, these words cascade towards them, symbolizing the impact of external digital narratives. The misinterpreted words reflect one’s digital footprint, highlighting distortions in online representations. The artwork invites reflection on how words, accurate or not, shape our sense of self in a connected world.

    This project, for OTHERWORLD Byron Bay, involved developing the artwork, creating previsualisations, creating measurements for build of projection surface, calculation of projector positions for installation and mapping surface.
