Modulating Metacognition

Abstract

Modulating Metacognition is the culmination of two years of research into the aesthetics of digital corruption and glitch. The visual content presented in this work is extrapolated from my personal accounts of panic and anxiety tracked in written journals. In part, this project is a creative outlet through which I can express the challenges I have experienced, and in doing so, I am able to conceptualize challenging and complicated feelings that I find difficult to express in words. Through this work, I explore the conceptual links between digital glitch and mental health. The primary objective of this work is to isolate the aesthetic qualities of glitch and demonstrate the utility of glitch in conceptual art.
