BIO

In searching for the connectors of cause, meaning and sense of resolve, Brooklyn J’s practice fundamentally speaks to the tragic vulnerability of romance.

Exploring the relationships we manifest with digital technologies, his practice explores the formations of, enactments with and responses to digital intimacy. navigating the intermediary space of transference between body and virtual anxieties of being, Brooklyn J’s work is an energy consciousness reconciling the external reflections of our internal vulnerabilities.

He explores these themes through video vignettes, digital observations, and photographic interrogations employing text, methods of self love and meditative healing practices.
