Chronically Online is a project dealing, well, with my chronically online behaviour. â€‹

​

Chronically Online deals with my very real addiction of online scrolling, the separation of identity and search for belonging. It is rooted in my instagram personality: (then) xie3lla (now xiexie3lla).

 

a desire to be seen without showing the true image of myself,

a desire to be heard without limiting myself to the structures of words, 

a desire to connect without forming real foundations of self, 

a desire to understand without knowing myself. 

 

 The lore of xie3lla is as follows:

​

DOWNLOADED ERROR 

 GLITCHING CURIOSITY 

​

WITHOUT TIME A 13 YEAR OLD BOI SAT SEARCHING FOR PORN ON

THE INTERNET 

ONE AD TOO MANY THE TABS WERE LOST IN THEIR DEPTH 

FOR WHAT TOOK OVER WAS AN ENTITY OF CURIOUS DREAD 

​

XIE3LLA CAME CRAWLING OUT OF THE SCREEN

SCREECHING IN VAIN SEARCHING FOR PAIN

​

NO THIS WASN'T PORN THE LITTLE BOI THOUGHT 

HE RAN AWAY AS ITS FINGERS TWISTED IN CIRCLES

ITS FACE CHANGING MOTIONLESSLY 

IT'S SOUND... WHAT WAS IT TO BE 

​

"WHAT IS TRUE CONNECTION"

XIE3LLA GHASPED IN SONIC THRED 

"WHAT IS REAL TOUCH"

IT NEEDED TO KNOW THAT INSTANT NOW

​

What followed was a series of performances where a live audience was able to witness xie3lla IRL. Each performance was different but followed the same path: fully improvised vocal sets, desktop portal dances, collaborative music works and storytelling. 

​

These performances only occurred in clubs and music venues, playing with 'present time', real body reaction and stimulated minds. The act of vocal improvisation, relying mostly on words was the main focus of each show.
