Artist Oriel Glennen presents an interactive online project as part of Craft Cubed 2014 –Unknown User Project

Social media has introduced us to a world of people at the press of a button. Instagram has particularly given ‘makers’ the opportunity to ‘meet’ a ‘like minded’ community through a visual documented daily feed.

Oriel Glennen has ‘met’ makers from across the globe and through ‘following’, has developed some interesting, creative friendships.

A jeweller from San Francisco; a contemporary artist from Sweden and a visual artist from California…….together these four ‘unknown users’ will create portraits of each other based on the images in each others ‘feeds’.

Without having physically met, each maker will develop a work based purely on ‘how they know this person’ through following each others Instagram profile. This process will be documented through a ‘new’ Instagram account specific to the exhibition titled ‘unknown user’.
