Work description

‍

“No Girls on the Internet” takes its title from the infamous internet rule 30 “all men are men, all women are men, and all children are FBI agents.” Yet for a whole generation, platforms like Tumblr offered refuge, spaces where girls and others outside societal norms could curate identities, discover subcultures, and connect beyond mainstream narratives. Often overlooked, girlhood online shaped communities, aesthetics, and culture for better and for worse. This work invites you into the messy, intimate space between the physical bedroom and the digital blog, where identity, creativity, and chaos meet.

Interactive prototype

The artwork is created to be as true as possible to a teenage girl room from the 2010's consisting of clothes, books and trinkets from our own teenage years. The corner desk is a cultural icon synonymous with 00s computer rooms. The artwork is designed to be cave-like and have a DIY element of a teenage girl using whatever is at hand to apropriate a space. On the desk is a computer set up and a pair of headphones; in the crooked headphones plays music from the time, and on the computer is a reconstruction of Tumblr from 2010's. The reconstruction hosts four different blogs, each embodying an archetype from the era.
