 By 1:55 pm, the video had finished exporting. I knew that since I was already running late for class, I wouldn't have had time to preview it. I uploaded the file to the class google drive and rushed to the art building on my bike. While biking frantically to class, I thought about the subject of my video. I was more aware than I wanted of the idea that I was unconsciously presenting the overused stereotype of the student with ADHD rushing late to class. I am not delving into the theory that working on a video about ADHD unconsciously created a self-fulfilling prophecy. A Self Portrait relates to my experiences dealing with my early childhood diagnosis of ADHD and the spinal fusion I received when I was 12 for scoliosis. The animated self-portrait explores the relationship between the two disabilities as I come of age. The fashion I created my video was to resemble the chaos and interrupted thoughts often associated with the learning difference; Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder. The disorientating flow of the narrative came from a vulnerable state, as it focuses on aspects of myself that have taken time to reach acceptance.

During the live performance, I guided the audience through an animated environment I made, projecting from my point of view through VR. The animation communicated through a virtual environment, a visual interpretation of humans' connection to the natural environment.

The performance plays with the concept of Environmental personhood of the irony behind how corporations have personhood, but the environment does not. The animations and sound use abstract imagery of anthropomorphized nature and corporations to play with this idea. I guided the animated world I created through VR to examine natural environmental personhood in a virtual environment.

Still of from my 360 VR animation on Environmental Personhood. A boxing match with puppets between the anthropomorphized groups Disney and The Sierra Club. Disney controls the Mickey Mouse puppet. The Sierra Club puppets a tree depicting Mineral King Valley. The boxing puppets represent the concepts of environmental personhood and corporate personhood.

A still from my 360 VR animation on Environmental Personhood. Reflecting on an alternative worldview where technology can potentially help humans strengthen their connection to nature; a view of humans as parts of a complex system rather than the anthropocentric belief of humans being dominions over the natural world.

Still of from my 360 VR animation on Environmental Personhood. The violent reference of the wave engulfing the girl with the VR headset touches on the dualism humans are developing with the human construct of the wilderness.
