Written by Yume Murphy for issue 2, OBSERVANCE. Read the entire essay here: atm-magazine.com/observance/unbecoming-online.
For many of us, observation is mediated through the internet, and not always on terms that we accept or even comprehend. Drawing on the work of Legacy Russell and Édouard Glissant, Yume Murphy’s essay, “Unbecoming Online,” explores our relationships to versions of ourselves that exist on the world wide web. From the early days of virtual dress up games to contemporary social media platforms, digital space often reaches uneasily into life away from the keyboard, enforcing standards of legibility via algorithms that harken back to “the Western obsession with transparency.”
Yume is a writer, dreamer, and (vibe) curator living between New Jersey and New York. She enjoys learning about art, internet culture(s), digital media, and identity. Yume spends most of her time trying to define home.
