Erin Shirreff

'"Working online I oftentimes feel disconnected from my body," says Erin Shirreff, recounting the familiar experience of restlessly navigating virtual space. Half-engaged in a stream of weightless graphics and information, it’s easy to lose track of the screen’s physical parameters—and your own. Shirreff’s motivation for developing Shadow, Glare, however, stems from those moments when the screen’s material presence becomes impossible to ignore, when dust accumulations, errant smudges, and the movement of shadows and glares disturb the illusion of transparency.

That will really jar me back into my chair." ' Shadow Glare site.
