Every day of the residency, I documented my own routine of connecting to the internet through the VPN service I depend on. I recorded the VPN’s logs and connection activity, then transcribed these digital traces onto paper using my non-dominant hand for one hour. The piece translates an automated, near-instant technological process into a slow, repetitive, and physically awkward bodily act. The work reflects how, after living through prolonged disconnection, even partial and unequal access stops feeling neutral. Access becomes something that has to be maintained, cared for, and protected. Each session was filmed from two angles: an overhead view of the writing, and a more distant camera observing me at work. The recordings were uploaded to YouTube every day — a platform that I cannot normally access without additional technical work. The process of archiving and making the work visible therefore became part of the work itself.

The image is a screenshot of a YouTube playlist documenting an ongoing daily performance. It shows a series of publicly published videos titled “Port 10808,” followed by the corresponding day number. Visible entries include days 43 through 50, dated from 12 September 2026 through 19 September 2026. Each video is approximately one hour long and has a thumbnail showing a person writing by hand in a notebook alongside a video of the performer. The playlist demonstrates the continuation of the performance over consecutive days, with each day documented as a separate video.

The image is split into two side-by-side panels showing the same VPN connection logs in different formats. On the left is a dark computer-terminal screenshot with numerous timestamped log entries. The entries show connections from the local address 127.0.0.1 to various external websites and services, including Telegram, Google, Mozilla, Microsoft, and several IP addresses, with messages such as “accepted” and “socks -> proxy.” On the right is a handwritten reproduction of selected entries from the same logs on lined notebook paper. The handwriting records dates, times, local port numbers, remote addresses or websites, and the word “accepted,” with arrows indicating SOCKS-to-proxy connections. The handwritten version appears to document the same VPN activity shown in the computer screenshot.
