Follow me as I take you on a journey, a digital image’s journey around the globe.
“OMG what's that? It's a picture of a cute cat. Ever wondered where all these images go after being captured on your phone. Join us on this journey as we follow an image's digital life making a stop at storage, data and the web of AI. Where your photos go may come as a surprise, and the impact they have, will hopefully open your eyes. Pixels timestamped and ready to roll. Come join me on this journey around the globe. Follow me.”
Follow me is a group exhibition that explores the web of touchpoints a digital image meets on its journey through storage, data and generative AI. Supported by IADT’s The Good Guide, our group of MA Design for Change students conceptualised an experience that sought to engage, entertation and enlighten. Held on and around IADT’s Media Stairs in April 2026, I contributed with a looping soundscape of textures, travelling trains and subtle surprises. The sound aimed to frame the space and draw people closer, while not overpowering or distracting from the interactive posters and engagement pieces.
