Who are you and how does your artistic practice reflect that identity?  I am very well- rounded when it comes to different things in life. My personality is very complex. I don't think one one could sum it up except for complex (while I'm sure other could say the same too). My artistic practice and style is still developing. However, I do think my identity comes through a little in my artwork. I tend to do things that are important to me and that I can relate to.  How does your presence on social media reflect that identity? I don't have a really big presence on social media. I think that does reflect parts of my identity. I tend to be shy in public and quieter at first. While I use social media apps, I do not actively participate with posting everyday or very often. I use it to check certain things . But I do not strive to have to most likes or followers on Instagram. This part of me is definitely reflected in my identity. I do like the ways soc...

Black and Blue: American Artist Is Redefining How We Think About Race in the Digital Age Written by: Alex Greenberger My comment: This article was different but very interesting. Our generation is definitely having this change and increasing activism shown with digital art. Since technology is so present in today's society, I think people are taking advantage of its resources by creating works of art to engage with controversial issues. I thought it was interesting how the person changed their name to American Artist. It brings up the conversation with what that word means and how it presents their identity. Artist seems very knowledgeable about digital resources and how they can use that to present a message in their art. While I am not very advanced with digital art or technology, I can definitely see how it can play an important role in society since this kind of art is becoming more popular and present in every day life.

Is there something physical you collect? I don't physically collect anything right now. But when I was younger, I did collect seashells on the beach. What digital collections do you have? The only digital collections I have are photographs from my life. I have them stored on my phone and laptop. How does the digital world affect the way we collect? The digital world affects the way we collect things because it is a different way of keep something stored. Instead of physically collecting something like in  your room or home, the technology we have today allows us to save almost any digital information.
