Digital Other is a combination video art project and thesis paper that addresses the problems of encountering others and mediating oneself through the digital screen. The project explores issues of control and surveillance through an investigation of my own experience as user and voyeur but also suggests that these issues haunt the structure of my subjectivity regardless of screen mediation. In the video, my entangled relation to a ghostly black and vaguely female Other on a screen suggests a power dynamic that plays out in my own self-mediation-a process that uses the Other without ever understanding her difference from me. This Other robs me of fingers, teeth, and eyes across the distance of screen mediation and thereby displays her power over me even as I surveil her. This paper builds on literary and philosophical references in order to ground the idea that the process of developing a self is structured according to imbalances in power, some of which play out through gender difference as well as through racial difference. This thesis argues for a digital understanding of this imbalance, brings these discussions into a contemporary context of digital technology, and situates the project in the field of video and performance art. Through the five theoretical lenses of (1) psychoanalysis, (2) feminism, (3) media theory, (4) critical theory and (5) philosophy, this paper contextualizes this video project and my overall video art practice within a larger history of critical thinking and artistic self expression.
