Welcome To Oross

Olivia McKayla Ross is an 18 year old media artist and programmer from Queens, New York City. She hopes to help others model their own practices of exploding conventional dichotomies of user vs. programmer and noise vs. signal, while also building a framework for interrogating the faith economies that underlay electronics and communications technologies. How is faith and trust distributed between users and programmer? How is faith monopolized, accumulated, recycled, exchanged, embodied, assigned and weaponized between people, systems, ideals and materials? Emboldened by her perspective as a digital native she hopes her work will encourage her fellow teens to nurture a critical relationship with technology.
