dataShroud is a multi-channel video and textile installation which invites viewers to examine the accumulation and commodification of digital data as it relates to their sense of self within and beyond the digital world. This personal data, which is routinely collected, monetized, and aggregated by third parties, renders reductive portraits of ourselves used to define us as consumers. dataShroud resists the notion that an accumulation of data can effectively portray the multitudes and nuances of our identities.
