Chronic: on textures, illness, and the endless scroll
Chronic: on textures, illness, and the endless scroll’ is the culmination of developing ideas surrounding digital spaces, fluidity, meditations on aesthetics of social media, and the binaries of health and illness in the western world. ‘Chronic’ explores the capitalisation of ‘wellness’ and how we live under unescapable neoliberalism. The text draws on illness theory, writing surrounding health, and the conflation and confusion of the states of health and illness.
