First, Negative Two, 38: A Trilogy by Micaela Durand and Daniel Chew

What does it mean to grow up, to live, to love, to lust in a perpetually online world, one in which the promise of human connection is both tantalizingly ever-present and seemingly more elusive than ever before? Replete—like the internet itself—with shimmering, illusory surfaces, this sensorially immersive, boldly shot and soundtracked trilogy of thematically linked shorts from New York City–based collaborators Micaela Durand and Daniel Chew takes up the great existential paradox of the social-media age, capturing, with disquieting unease, the ambient alienation of our hyper-connected world.
