We live in a world where complicated issues are increasingly presented as binary ideas, where one has only 140 characters to explore tricky, multifaceted issues. Through algorithms of "likes" we are put into echo chambers that re enforce our perspectives more and more.

Often described as the negative space around inauthenticity lays our true selves.

Authenticity carries with it its own set of moral obligations, which exist regardless of race, gender and class.  If, as in Nietzsche's Eternal Recurrence, you were to repeat this moment this life for all of eternity, would you make a change.

FELTspace is generously supported by the South Australian Government through Arts South Australia.
