The idea for my desktop performance is borrowed from an idea that Spencer Ratanavanh submitted to the Rituals issue of Adjacent that we were sadly not able to produce.
I wanted to produce something that portrayed how scattered and insane my desktop can be, but didn't know how to do this without also overwhelming and confusing the audience. Instead, I will flee my chaotic desktop and close every single window individually, presenting my live thought process as I close tabs and am prompted to save, until finally shutting down my computer.
To make the experience more fun, I will play a song at full volume that will play until the computer shuts down :)
One lovely consequence of this performance is that I won't be able to record the screen because the computer will not save an ongoing screen recording. Here's a recording of the performance:
