Explores the intersections of internet-transmitted post-trap 'rage'
music, TikTok aesthetics, and bodily movement against the architectural
and social landscapes of Boston.
Opium Glowboy views "geeking up" as a psychological and physical process
attached to a network of aesthetic cues that hold urgent cultural
significance to the alienation of Gen-Z. Dances, TikTok video effects,
digital synth sounds, distorted trap beats, clothing, and figures of
speech all interact and transfer meaning through a shared 'geeked'
affect and disposition.
In the face of alienation, the film attests to a transcendent,
uplifting, and contemporary shared experience evoked by the digitally
conceived, internet-transmitted music of artists like Yeat, Playboi
Carti, Ken Carson, and others for the adolescents of an internet-raised
generation. Characters' movement to the music straddles the tension
between awkwardness and ecstasy, attempting to reconcile the visual
languages of short-form internet content with those of contemporary
video art.

produced entirely using a flip phone. It contains a moving through the city, and it paces around the central question of how different image sensors relate to scale and physicality in fundamentally different ways. The piece contains instances of the camera moving around objects in ways that suggest the inherently object-oriented qualities of the image itself. It was made over the course of several months in 2022 living in Boston, and represents an act of holding onto experience and vision through the impressionism, or rather, 'compressionism' that older, more crude digital technology has to offer.
