Artcite Inc. is excited to include B. Wijshjer in the HOTSPOT lineup.
In their upcoming performance “ASMR | DATE WITH SHRIMPY | I'll Be Knocking on Heaven's Zoom Door Asking You To Pls Pick Up... Don't Ghost Me :(:(:(“ B Wijshijer will use Zoom to enact a first, virtual date through the style of a “personal attention” ASMR video.
Through this work, Wijshjer looks at how anxieties surrounding intimacy intersect with new digital normals while we move more to web-based communications.
HOTSPOT is a livestream performance series about intimacy and connection.
B Wijshijer is a research-based artist working within digital media and video installation. Wijshijer utilizes online trends and subcultures to deconstruct mediated intimacies and personas on digital platforms. Informed by acceleration aesthetics, their work plays with excess and artifice to interrogate the ways in which late capitalism affects our digital lives. Wijshijer received their BFA in Printmaking from OCAD University in 2017 and an MFA from the University of Waterloo in 2020.
