Julia is a Global Studies major, and a Humanities Scholar.  Her film, "De-cyborging: A Film About Days Without My Phone" will be presented as part of at Virtual URCAD 2020!

Abstract:
My Global Studies 409 class focused on technology’s impact on society. Through reflecting, I discovered my struggle to remain true to my identity, in this age of rampant technology. For my final project I desired to have it change me. I challenged myself to document days without my phone, to De-Cyborg. Initially, I spent more time by myself than usual. Making plans with friends couldn't be instant anymore. The isolation created loneliness, however, I soon found joy in thinking and processing without distraction. I wrote poetry and surrounded myself with nature; my mind was clear for the first time in awhile. This four minute video invites the audience to explore my internal conversation with my phone, as I refer to it as “you”. In a broader scope I hope the audience will begin to challenge their own thoughts, and question the impact their phone has on them. In the end, I give the final question of “Do I need you?” During college, I have chosen convenience over mental health, in choosing to keep my phone. My aspiration for the future is being able to balance life without it, and focusing on what matters.

Mentor: Tania Lizarazo
