Staying Connected: in the void (2015)
Shot entirely on a smartphone during Greber's months-long journey along the Appalachian Trail, this four-minute piece functions as a modified video selfie: Greber walks through the woods detailing his use of Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Tumblr as a platform for his artwork in lieu of physical presence in society. For long stretches his mouth and eyes are erased, leaving only the shell of his form; "the void" stands in as a mysterious place of potential enlightenment, set against the constructed world of the internet. Commissioned by Deltaworkers as a response to Melanie Bonajo's "Night Soil/Fake Paradise."
