Summary

This exhibition features a JavaScript-based generative work by Maya Man, designed to explore the intersection of technology and social media culture. The piece borrows from the bubbly visual style of Instagram to dissect wellness initiatives and self-care narratives that dominate online platforms. It acts as a physical manifestation of algorithmically generated content, analyzing how these digital tools promote confidence. By examining tourist gifts sold at LA and NYC shops that feature diverse printed texts, the artwork scrutinizes the promotional nature of social media trends. The collection includes diverse items created through digital design, serving as tangible evidence of how the internet shapes consumer behavior and self-presentation. This approach highlights the impact of algorithmic outputs on the broader culture of self-care and social acceptance.
