An unexpected outfall of the pandemic moment was the onslaught of digital use. Although we were meeting face to face our professors still required us to interact in the digital space, only assigning credit when the digital requirements were met. This dynamic of being pushed into technology in ever-increasing [required] ways began to shape my thoughts on this historical moment. As the digital world engulfed us with new apps tracking medical information that had the power to restrict your access to society, I realized I had lost some of the freedoms of my world. My historical sense of myself in the world was over. My generation from Vancouver who had enjoyed a non-digital upbringing were really now at a juncture of loss. This realization inspired the creation of this installation, “Here We Have No Lasting City”.
