This is a futuristic, interactive quiz designed to "help" you determine who you are as a person. It is inspired by and satirizes the personalized algorithmic systems of social media platforms, where users are constantly targeted with individualized ads and curated feeds based on their behavior, search history, and personal data.
At first, the experience feels familiar. You are given a wide range of choices, creating a sense of control and self-expression. As the quiz progresses, those choices begin to narrow. The options become more limited, more suggestive, and more leading, subtly guiding your responses instead of allowing you to decide.
What begins as a tool for self-discovery gradually reveals itself as something else. It becomes a system that assumes, predicts, and ultimately defines who you are. By the end, there is little to no choice left, only conclusions.
Through this process, the project critiques how digital platforms shape identity, not by asking who we are, but by telling us who we are while maintaining the illusion that we chose it ourselves.
I created this video several years ago using found, freely available clips. It opens with an extended black screen, a pause that sets a quiet, anticipatory tone before any imagery appears. From there, the video shifts into layered footage of a forest on fire alongside an interview with a woman. When asked whether she believes in climate change, she attributes the disruptions she has noticed to solar activity.
As the video unfolds, additional clips appear and overlap: a landfill filled with waste, imagery of the sun, and scenes of Indigenous communities caring for the land. These fragments sit beside one another without resolution, creating a tension between lived environmental reality, misinformation, and long-standing ecological knowledge.
The video concludes with a found clip declaring that βJesus is the real global warming,β pushing the contradictions to an extreme.
Together, these assembled moments highlight the fractured and often conflicting narratives surrounding climate change. The work reflects how misinformation, denial, and inaction can leave us directionless, reinforcing a sense of stagnation in the absence of decisive and responsible leadership.
