Abstract
Things I do when I’m bored (2017-22) addresses vloggers’ relationship with feeling bored. The work is composed of a browser-based video compilation and a video installation that assembles found footage from YouTube vlogs with less than 100 or even zero views. It emphasises the vloggers’ self-awareness in their performa- tive statements of boredom as they look at their representation on-screen with the hope to be viewed, subscribed to, commented on, liked, shared, and followed by others. The work explores the notion that the feeling of boredom on social me- dia, the internet at large, and daily life suffused with digital media technologies, is part of a post-digital symptom of disenchantment in which social media and digital technologies fail to entertain these vloggers.
