All My Friends Are In The Cloud is a series of video sculptures focused on intimacy and ephemerality within digital ecosystems. The project centers on aggregating an ever-expanding digital archive viewed via a pillar of video monitors. Images of people embracing gently spin and scroll upward like video clips in a social media feed. As the images ascend, they unfurl into a whirl of digital fragments. By the time each embrace reaches the top of the screen, its image has disintegrated completely.

Harvest Gyre expands this project, via an apparatus that allows members of the public to contribute their image to the archive and instantly wittness themselves unfurling on adjacent screens.
