Artist Statement

Aviv Lang is a filmmaker and visual artist who explores influence on perception and perspective. Grappling with topics surrounding social media and the boundaries of physical and digital space, Aviv infuses his educational background and interest in social psychology into his work. He plays with familiar user interfaces and everyday media to draw attention to moments of engagement and disengagement, presence and absence, reflection and distraction. Often the way his work is experienced is more important than the content itself, with emphasis on designing for mobile viewing experiences and inviting “interaction” from the viewer in a traditionally passive medium. Through these moments of interaction, Aviv prompts distraction, confusion, curiosity, and meditation, pushing the viewer to see their own relationship with media from a new perspective.
