Rochester Doomscroll Sesh

stereo fixed media

Rochester feels like it's living a double life: one half shaped from the shadows of old mega corporations, and the other focused on the future and attracting newcomers. This intersection between old and new results in surprising contrasts like driving over abandoned subway tunnels, or seeing smoke shops inhabit historic homes. It reminds me of doomscrolling, the concept of consuming short-form content for extended periods of time. While doomscrolling, one can witness war, food reviews, politics, and drama, all within seconds. My piece represents this sensation, utilizing Rochester field recordings and samples to create rapid shifts which mirror scrolling.
