dc.description.abstractPut a finger down if you’ve ever been personally victimized by social media algorithms is a collection of critical reflections on embedded social media microaggressions reflecting acts of racism, body shaming, the glorification of mental health disorders (such as ADHD, depression, anxiety and eating disorders), as well as ‘That Girl’ routines, and the biased algorithms that make them tick. Using strategies such as humour and exaggeration to my advantage, I translated this digital content into hand-based methods (drawing, painting, soft sculpture, and linoleum carving) to reinterpret this seemingly playful content and to offer the viewer time to reflect on the more hateful sides of social media which are normalized by Pop Culture.en
