Hacer Pantallazo (2014-2015)

During our work, our studies, and relaxation we find ourselves physically outside of the computer, but our attention and consciousness are at one with the digital world. As such, according to Roc Herms, we must accept our hybrid state of ‘being’, somewhere between the physical and virtual world, and document our digital banalities in order to assimilate and understand our own nature. That’s why Herms replaces the photograph with a screenshot – pantallazos in Spanish – as a quick and intuitive means of storing visual information from the virtual world. With the aid of small algorithms that automatically collect the screenshots from different digital devices, Roc Herms compiles and has published the chronicle of his everyday digital life.
