CAST
Feed ME to the Algorithm<\/em> es una instalaci\u00f3n que consta de varias piezas, siendo la principal un espacio virtual interactivo desarrollado en Unity que sumerge al usuario en un bucle, donde la sensaci\u00f3n de desorientaci\u00f3n se intensifica con el paso de los segundos en pantalla. En un entorno en primera persona, el jugador camina por un espacio que parece ofrecer la posibilidad de avanzar, pero en realidad lo atrapa, expulsando, moviendo y desorient\u00e1ndolo cada vez m\u00e1s. El espacio virtual se transforma en una experiencia cargada de est\u00edmulos visuales y sonoros, construyendo una atm\u00f3sfera de saturaci\u00f3n, a trav\u00e9s de una invasi\u00f3n de im\u00e1genes y v\u00eddeos que abordan la representaci\u00f3n de la mujer en las redes sociales y las expectativas de belleza y \u00abcuidado personal\u00bb que se les presentan. Im\u00e1genes de mujeres extra\u00eddas de Pinterest, v\u00eddeos con discursos sobre feminidad, memes ir\u00f3nicos sobre la clean girl <\/em>(Browning, 2024), una est\u00e9tica minimalista que idealiza h\u00e1bitos \u00absaludables\u00bb y una feminidad discreta, <\/em>y audios de TikTok se van acumulando en capas superpuestas, generando una sensaci\u00f3n de sobrecarga y opresi\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La obra funciona como una cr\u00edtica a la presi\u00f3n social que recae sobre las mujeres j\u00f3venes y adolescentes en Internet y sus efectos sobre la salud mental. Lo que en un principio se presenta como contenido inspirador y aparentemente inofensivo, pronto se revela como una construcci\u00f3n inalcanzable que exige un esfuerzo constante para mantenerse dentro de los l\u00edmites de la est\u00e9tica y la identidad impuestas. En lugar de ofrecer una narrativa tradicional con un desenlace claro, la obra empuja al usuario a experimentar directamente la repetici\u00f3n y el agotamiento que genera la b\u00fasqueda de una validaci\u00f3n externa que nunca es suficiente, a trav\u00e9s de una especie de algoritmo hiperacelerado. La instalaci\u00f3n f\u00edsica recrea un escenario de habitaci\u00f3n clean girl<\/em> al mismo tiempo que transmite la idea de bed rotting<\/em>, pr\u00e1ctica de pasar largas horas en la cama sin producir ni socializar, asociada tanto al \u00abautocuidado\u00bb ir\u00f3nico como al agotamiento emocional. La interacci\u00f3n con el espacio virtual ocurre desde un port\u00e1til mientras el cuerpo yace en la cama en una postura inc\u00f3moda, rodeado de objetos acumulados de consumo r\u00e1pido y belleza artificial. La escena evoca la experiencia de hacer scroll<\/em> durante horas en TikTok o navegar sin sentido por redes sociales, en la inercia que impone el algoritmo, que atrapa y paraliza a la vez. Alrededor, los objetos recomendados por influencers<\/em> para un d\u00eda de calma y bienestar, disponibles en tiendas como Shein o Temu, de consumo r\u00e1pido y barato: extra\u00f1as m\u00e1scaras con luz, artilugios de todo tipo para despertar perfectamente peinada, cojines y tazas de Hello Kitty, luces creadas solo para hacerse buenas selfies\u2026 componiendo un cuadro de comodidad artificial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ENG
Feed ME to the Algorithm<\/em> is an installation composed of several elements, the main one being an interactive virtual space developed in Unity that immerses the user in a loop in which the sense of disorientation intensifies with every second spent on screen. In a first-person environment, the player walks through a space that appears to offer the possibility of progression, but in reality traps them, repeatedly expelling, shifting and disorienting them. The virtual space becomes an experience charged with overlapping visual and sound elements, which create a sensation of saturation through a flood of images and videos addressing representations of women on social media and the expectations of beauty and \u201cself-care\u201d imposed on them. Images of women sourced from Pinterest, videos featuring discourses on femininity, ironic memes about the clean girl<\/em> (Browning, 2024) \u2013 a minimalist aesthetic that idealizes \u201chealthy\u201d habits and discreet femininity \u2013 and TikTok audio clips accumulate in overlapping layers, generating a feeling of overload and oppression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The work functions as a critique of the social pressure placed on young women and adolescent girls on the Internet and its effects on mental health. What initially seems to be inspiring and seemingly harmless content soon reveals itself as an unattainable construct that demands constant effort to remain within the boundaries of an imposed aesthetic and identity. Rather than offering a traditional narrative with a clear resolution, the work pushes the user to directly experience the repetition and exhaustion produced by the pursuit of external validation that is never sufficient, through a kind of hyper-accelerated algorithm. The physical installation recreates a clean girl<\/em> bedroom scene while simultaneously conveying the idea of bed rotting<\/em>, the practice of spending long hours in bed without doing anything or socializing, associated with ironic \u201cself-care\u201d and emotional burnout. Interaction with the virtual space takes place via a laptop while the body lies on the bed in an uncomfortable position, surrounded by accumulated fast consumption and artificial beauty objects. The scene evokes the experience of scrolling for hours on TikTok or aimlessly browsing social media, caught in the inertia imposed by the algorithm, which both traps and paralyses. Around the viewer, objects recommended by influencers for a calm, wellness-oriented day \u2013 available from fast and cheap retailers such as Shein or Temu \u2013 appear: strange light masks, gadgets designed so that you wake up perfectly groomed, Hello Kitty cushions and mugs and lights created solely to take good selfies, all composing a tableau of artificial comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
