Through the compilation of personal video footage of the outside world filtering through our windows, juxtaposed by generic Zoom video backgrounds, Portals explores the manipulation of reality and the limits of technology as we stare out of our windows and into our screens. Physical windows are portals through which we experience the world around us: the changing sky, the delivery workers, and even checking in on our neighbors from afar. Physical isolation has increased our digital content consumption by shifting our physical interactions to the limits of a digital screen.

Portals was presented at the Art on the Marquee and was also reimagined as a short film for the New England Areacode art fair’s DRIVE/IN video screening.
