Normally operating as stages for the sensational, captivating, and dopaminergic, the phone screens in Screentime are instead inverted: viewers occupy a space behind the screen, peeping through to observe people in unvarnished moments of private downtime. By transforming spectator into voyeur across several isolated displays, the work reflects on themes of pervasive surveillance and the ironically communal lonelinesses experienced on-device.
Featured performers: Arnau Donate, Liana O'Cleirigh, Aura Murillo, Clemens Scherf, Rhea Thomas, Ishaan Bose Verma, Xin Wen
Behind the screens
Performers were first interviewed on their nightly digital rituals, which they then replicated out of habit on a sheet of glass rigged with an embedded camera. These rigs were designed to capture interactions in extremely high fidelity, including the minutiae of fingertips pressed white on glass.
To emphasize the viewer’s position behind the screen-space, digital interfaces were meticulously designed and world-built from scratch on Figma, horizontally mirrored, then rendered and animated spatially through Blender.
