Some documentation of my performance BedRot, where I traced the Instagram algorithm’s development over the course of 24 hours. The full 24 hour long twitch VOD will be posted publicly very soon <3

#VirreinaResidents Canada / 🇨🇦 Nos emociona anunciar a nuestra residente de Mayo ✶ PISO TÉRMICO Residency ✶ 💻 Aphex Redditor 💻 @aphex.redditor Aphex Redditor es una artista digital basada en Montreal. Inspirada por el movimiento de arte post-internet de los años 2010, su trabajo explora la relevancia continua de la cultura contemporánea de redes sociales. Trabaja principalmente con medios encontrados, tratando el paisaje social de internet como una fuente inagotable de material visual y conceptual. A través de distintos medios como video, performance y net-art, Aphex Redditor busca relacionarse con el contenido online no solo como observadora pasiva, sino como participante activa en el desarrollo colaborativo de un ecosistema social. Guiada por las dimensiones sociológicas, conductuales y estéticas de los medios masivos digitales, su práctica investiga cómo las imágenes no solo reflejan realidades sociales, sino también cómo las construyen en una era donde la cultura se propaga digitalmente. ⸻ We are thrilled to announce our resident at ✶ PISO TÉRMICO Residency ✶ 💻 Aphex Redditor 💻 Aphex Redditor is a digital artist based in Montreal. Inspired by the post-internet art movement of the 2010s, her work explores the ongoing significance of contemporary social media culture. She works predominantly with found media, treating the social landscape of the internet as an endless source of visual and conceptual material. Through a variety of media, including video, performance, and net-art, Aphex Redditor aims to engage with online content not just as a passive observer but as an active participant in the collaborative development of a social ecosystem. Guided by the sociological, behavioural, and aesthetic dimensions of online mass media, her practice investigates how images not only reflect but also construct social realities in an era where culture is propagated digitally. 📸 @majo.donita

As BedRot comes to a close and as I have repaid a portion of my sleep debt, I want to share this beautiful exhibition text from @rrrrrruuuuuubbbbbbzzzzzz I think this explains perfectly what my intentions were with the performance, and why I was eager to share it with the world 🖤

BedRot
March 20–21, 2026
Eastern Bloc @easternblocmtl 55, rue de Louvain ouest, #480, Montreal, Quebec H2N1A4 ***Link to performance livestream in bio*** The performance begins at 7:00 PM on Friday, March 20 and ends at 7:00 PM on Saturday, March 21. There will be a finissage after the performance has concluded between 7:00 PM and 9:00 PM on Saturday. For 24 hours, I will remain in a bed installed in the gallery, continuously scrolling through Instagram Reels. The feed from my phone will be projected on a wall directly behind me. The audience will see what I see. The content will change as the algorithm refines what it delivers. A new Instagram account has been created specifically for the piece. The algorithm begins from nothing. Over the course of a single day, I will be unconsciously training it. During BedRot, private actions will be on public display, and imperceptible systems will be brought into view. *The performance will also be livestreamed for those who cannot attend in person.

Join us for a special screening and Q&A with Aphex Redditor (@aphex.redditor ) on November 5 from 5:30 to 8 pm at the Visualization Studio LB.314-00📍 💿 a Montreal-based digital artist whose work remixes the chaos of online life into hypnotic, collage-like video worlds. Drawing from the post-internet art movement of the 2010s, she transforms found images from social media into reflections on the culture that shapes them. Her acclaimed projects include Year of the Goth, Doom Scroll (nominated for the 2022 BMO 1st Art! Award), and the interactive web piece LAN Party. Stick around after the screening for a conversation with Aphex about her process, influences, and the ever-evolving landscape of digital art.
