I am doing a study on concrete
Examining parallel lines
Distinguishing identical slabs
My eye so close
That dirt
Makes me blink
Measuring
Re-measuring cracks
Trying to define
The divide
Women are doing a study on concrete
Because with bent necks
That’s where we’re taught to look
Examining cracks
Blinking out dirt
Trying to define
Something someone else made
Why must I study concrete
And brick walls
And my own reflection out bus windows
When I would rather study the world

“The postexhibition in Milan showcased three original artworks, each harnessing interactive technology to create immersive experiences, and explore new relationships to digital content.”
In a world of digital permanence, especially through social media, people have lost the ability to live off impulse. We spend hours manipulating a simple Facebook post in order to present emotions that may not coincide with what we feel inside. “Museum of Secrets” is a outlet for the human impulse to share our most honest thoughts and feelings. It is a safe and anonymous way to shout our secrets into the world, yet there is no way of knowing who, if anyone, is receiving what you have to share.
