No Title (No Filter) is about the rendering and commodification of the voice and body in popular media, as well as the distortions of self-expectation arising from both non-realtime editing and instant, automated processing (“filtering”) of performance and image.
The piece’s music video is featured as a holographic haunting of the live performance, and acts as a definitive reference which the performer must reenact and be held in comparison to, despite their bodily limitations and the inhumanly enhanced nature of their digitally produced likeness.
