My Meds, from the series Testament/Installation view

My Meds shows video clips collected from Vlogs* on the internet. As people in different clips tell his /her own story, their faces start to be layered in a certain pattern. The individuals in the clips express their yearning for intimacy and being part of a community. They are a reflection of the contemporaries who isolate themselves while sitting in front of digital screens or computer monitors. In this work, Bookchin presents a way of communication in a certain format that is available in the modern, technological society. Bookchin does so as she takes notice of two phenomena that have influenced the human communication with the development of the internet : the internet has enabled everyone to talk with the public; it became easy for anyone to express and reveal his /her opinion unilaterally; and at the same time, the internet has given us anonymity. A contradiction occurs at this point where one can increase his /her exposure while hiding oneself from such exposure.

* Vlog: A shortened expression for video log or video blog. Vlog is a blog that mainly contains video documentation that conveys contents about the lives of individuals, their thoughts, opinions, and interests, which are often created in a journalistic manner.
