I COULDN'T HELP BUT WONDER

"I COULDN'T HELP BUT WONDER" is a GIF series. It is a collage of hand drawn animation, glitched grindr exchanges, stock footage, and Sex and the City. This piece explores the projection of self in user interfaces and archetypal protagonists within the context of gay dating. Brandon Straus considers himself a Carrie.
