Through a disorienting installation comprising video projections and kinetic sculptures that have been placed within clusters of grid-like structures, Are We Still (Surfing)? suggests that the internet is no longer a space designed for users or attentive to their needs. Instead, it has evolved into a closed, self-reinforcing system fueled by corporate interest while imposing surveillance and control upon individuals. Song explores the transformation facing modern internet users, who now rely heavily on platform-driven algorithms and looping, targeted content as opposed to exercising genuine agency. This interface contrasts starkly with earlier iterations of the internet that were less obviously shaped by state and corporate interests, which allowed users to more freely ‘surf’ the web.
