Consume Like Everyone Is Watching (2018 - Ongoing)

Consume Like Everyone Is Watching are Instagram-specific videos that are up to one-minute-long in duration. Interacting with household consumables, the series is inspired by the Korean Mukbang (먹방) Internet phenomenon (user-generated broadcast-videos of someone, usually the host, eating massive quantities of food in front of the camera and interacting with potential online spectators as a form of entertainment). Taking this form into consideration that capitalizes on the attention economy, the performance speaks to an online audience. Showcasing everyday perishables (such as fruit) or products (such as water filters), the host (myself) energetically dances to music and often reacts to its lyrics. Reminiscent to that of montages in televised home shopping commercials, the series attempts to explore how online-content-creators transform mundane activities and consumer behaviors into absurd forms of online entertainment as a means to circulate and promote trends on and beyond social media platforms.

hyperventilating into paper sacks □□ frantically grabbing one of these paper bags and heavily rebreathing into it to restore lost carbon dioxide can potentially be deadly. Although paper as a material has been used for a very long time, the 1852 invention of a machine that cut, folded, and pasted massive amounts of paper bags was a game changer. 20 years later, margaret e. knight created a new machine that evolved the previous design and produced flat-bottomed ones. as an underpaid mid-30s woman inventor in a heavily testosterone infused male-dominated field, she fought her way to claim authorship from a bro who tried to hijack her patent by pleading to the patent officials that a woman and especially someone who lacked technical training in mechanics as her could not have been capable of building such intricate machinery. knight’s no-bullshit persistence and determination crowned her the patent and she became one of the first women to inscribe her name on an invention. hyperventilating into the 20th century, allegedly brown paper bag tests were used in black social institutions to profile and determine privileges for admission or membership to sororities/frats and religious communities. working-mothers of the 70s insisted on “brown-bag lunch programs” demanding equal opportunities in the workforce against school systems that sent students back home mid-day for hot meal lunches. whether it is for carrying a cold lunch or a corner store bought booze or for making a paper bag puppet in kindergarten, 21st century americans re/use 10 billions of crafted paper bags every year. although their effectiveness and ubiquitous functionality has turned them into barely noticeable recyclables, next time you use one take a second look and remember what it holds inside beyond what you see □ ( (((□ . . #iwillsurvive #gloriagaynor #paperbag #paper #bag #survive #america #invention #machine #art #women #history #70s #disco #music #dance #dancestagram #종이 #봉투 #기계 #디스코 #음악 #춤 #막춤 #댄스 #춤스타그램

twisted knotty doughs tho ???! these interlocking squishy baked goods have been around for quite some time and their origin story is as mysterious as their loopy existence. the most popular legend unfolds in AD 610 italy when a monk started gifting students with a soft baked dough called “pretiolas,” which means “little rewards”, as a prize for memorizing prayers. resembling that of crossed arms and symbolizing spirituality, pretzels or “bracellae” meaning “little arms” flourished in middle age europe. further dubbed by germans as “bretzels,” from love-fest matrimonial ceremonies “tying the knot” to wishful new year celebratory necklaces, these tangled pieces of bread enjoyed their heyday throughout the 17th century. a century later, settling in the “new world” with german immigrants in pennsylvania after days and days of twisting and turning on a boat across the atlantic, pretzels transformed in density and obtained its salty crunchy crispness. upgraded with longer shelf lives that allowed long-distance delivery, the modern day adaptation of hard pretzels were introduced by one of the first commercial pretzel bakers in lititz, pennsylvania and the keystone state still reigns as one of the top pretzelers to this day since 1861. by the 20th century, pretzels were bending out of control, factory machines twisted pretzels faster and harder than any human possibly could outputting 245 pretz/min. since the invention of the hardcore “automatic hard pretzel twisting machine,” we now are able to produce tons and tons of pretzels every day. all said, i love me some delicately hand-twisted pretzels and that is what this girl wants, what this girl needs, what makes me happy and sets me free in a world that is spinning so quickly before my eyes ????⚙️? . . #whatagirlwants #christinaaguilera #xtina #pretzels #snack #baked #bread #history #food #foodies #love #wellness #selflove #mukbang #foodies #foodstagram #movement #music #dance #dancestagram #프렛즐 #팝 #음악 #막춤 #춤스타그램 #댄스 #댄스타그램

fiberlicious antitoxi-dance □□❤️□! these magically mysterious fungi are celebrated by mycophiles (like me @_@), strongly disliked by mycophobes who dread the mushy texture and taste, and those who stand in between (meh-o-phili-phobes?). oldest edible mushroom species have been found in archaeological sites in chile dating back to 13k years and variations of fungi cultivation may have started in parts of asia more than 500 years ago. the word “mushroom” comes from the french word for molds and fungi. ever since a 17th century french melon grower discovered this sneaky delicacy hiding in his fertiliser and with further investigation by others who learned that mushrooms thrive and like to chill in moist environments, large-scale commercial production started taking place in dark caves around paris. both deadly poisonous and magnificently nutritious, these dubious mushy caps are intoxicatingly wild. french philosopher voltaire even noted in his diary that a “dish of mushrooms changed the destiny of europe.” as a euphoric ceremonial drink for ancient rituals and as an exotic delicacy for the rich and powerful, mushrooms historically ran wild and free in the medicinal and culinary world. nowadays, with china, italy, us, and the netherlands leading as the top 4 mushroom tamers, we safely consume millions of tons of these funky fungi every year. as in that legendary story of two plummers who traveled to the humanoid mushroom kingdom of toads to defeat a nasty turtle-like creature called koopa to save a damsel in distress, mushrooms peekaboo in our lives everyday 1up-ing our health here and there, everywhere! true story, i started eating mushrooms as a kid once my mom told me that i’d grow taller and stronger like “mario” ; ) □□□ . . #peekaboo #redvelvet #mushroom #fungi #history #super #food #foodies #love #health #wellness #korean #girlgroup #kpop #selflove #mukbang #foodies #foodstagram #movement #music #dance #dancestagram #레드벨벳 #피카부 #버섯 #걸그룹 #막춤 #춤스타그램 #댄스 #댄스타그램

soft as an angel and disposable as an online profile ❤️□□□! 17th century, a european visiting japan is mesmerized by the usage of a disposable wood-pulp tissue and notes that “they blow their noses in soft silky papers the size of a hand, which they never use twice.” nowadays, because your face is used to the artificial touch, facial tissues are generally made out of smoothly flattened out pure-high-quality chemical pulp. the turning point for facial tissue development was world war 1 (dun dun dun) through kimberly-clark who brought back the cellulose wadding material technology from europe to the u.s. and trademarked the resulting material as “cellucotton”. due to the shortage of organic cotton from continuously wrapping wounds and cleaning up bloody disasters, the new material was used for surgical bandages and then further adapted into filters for gas masks. post-war, riding the hype in cosmetics and beauty products, the company reappropriated the surplus of cellucotton and started wiping down the faces of consumers with a new product called, ”kleenex.” ever since the birth of face-specific tissues in 1924, companies started to competitively roll out ads in forms of testimonials and endorsements featuring famous stars. lights, camera, action, voila! pretty skin. it was a race to the face. the real deal was sealed when facial tissues started to absorb the “cold-healing” factor in between their sneaky layers of softness. reaching a broader audience, companies started seeing huge spikes in sales. □□ now, in aisle 9, we face the real-time challenge to choose our winner among the infinite shapes, sizes, colors and super-powers each facial tissue possess - anti-viral germ killer, beautifully lotioned, pleasantly scented, colorfully patterned - you better work your brain. i mean, have you made your decision yet?□□□□□ . . #supermodel #rupaul #tissue #facialtissue #face #kleenex #dragrace #queen #covergirl #health #music #model #beauty #cosmetics #makeup #glam #love #selflove #dance #dancestagram #휴지 #얼굴 #모델 #화장 #뷰티 #음악 #춤 #막춤 #댄스 #춤스타그램

? ?? the wonders of satisfyingly sliced bread! we have been baking bread since at least 30,000 years ago and the oldest one to have been excavated to date by archaeologists is estimated to be from around 5500 year ago when we were ferociously combating with gigantic mammoths for survival. the key to blobbing up bread into fluffy carbs relies on channeling the yeast in the air, a process which was commercially produced since 300 BC in ancient egypt. as we moved into the 20th century modern times, of course, we started to commercialize the slicing process as well. since the slicing machine’s first factory installation in the u.s. in 1928, it only took a mere couple years for 90% of store-bread to be mechanically sliced and customized to cater to the varying thick-and-thin bread consumption habits. in the 60s, responding to the u.s. government’s decision to limit sliced bread production to those who own slicing machines such as large bakers and supermarket chains, a “housewife disgusted with food prices” in denver colorado and many other frustrated women organized “bread boycotts” to protest against grocery chains that used the sliced-bread-ban to increase their food prices and profit margins. despite deemed “unladylike” at the time to be politically outspoken demanding for better quality and pricing of manufactured bread, the movement successfully shook the food industry which spread into a nationwide movement that even reached the canadian borders. although prices inevitably increased again, this is a slice of recorded history to remember. bread got oprah winfrey feelin’ like ooh-na-na (ay, ay) “i love bread. I LOVE BREAD”, and yes, it made us ooh-na-na (ay, ay) as well since the stone ages ?❤️? . . #havana #camilacabello #bread #carbs #sliced #oprahwinfrey #omagazine #oprah #savage #music #women #health #food #foodies #foodstagram #love #colorado @denverartmuseum #history #mukbang #dance#dancestagram #빵 #식빵 #음악 #먹방 #먹스타그램 #춤 #막춤 #댄스 #춤스타그램

biting into the mystical forbidden fruit to become the most fairest of em all ???! originating from central asia, we produced 84.6million tons of apples in 2014 alone to “keep the doctor away”. these rosy cheeked fruit are not only freakin’ delicious but also contain almost as twice as more genes than the human genome and flaunt their extreme heterozygosity, which allows seedling trees to genetically diversify from their parents. juiced, jammed, sliced and diced, we have even successfully figured out ways to engineer apples that never bruise or brown. as rich as their genetic data, we also have abundantly archived apple stories that have symbolically and metaphorically emerged from all walks of time. whether red, green, golden or silver, apples have held in a lot of baggage as the bearer of immortality, forever youth, fertility, sacred knowledge, temptation, divine healing, anesthetic power, cash-prize-money, the unfamiliar and foreign, dissonance, redness, gravity and the list goes on and on. researchers say that the latin word for apple “malus” which also means “evil / bad” may have contributed to its unfortunate rap in some of these narratives. in korean, the word apple is a homonym for “apology” and so i “apple” in advance for filling up your feed as i doubt this will be my last dance for circulating net-browsed-knowledge ; ) ??? . . #lastdance #donnasummer #apple #fruit #history #70s #disco #music #food #foodies #health #wellness #fitness #love #selflove #history #mukbang #dance #dancestagram #사과 #과일 #역사 #음악 #먹방 #먹스타그램 #춤 #막춤 #댄스 #춤스타그램

ZZZZAAAAAA AF ?? ?!!!! kneaded flatbreads slapped with flavorful assortment of toppings, pizza is simply beautiful. although similar variations of breads with stuff-on-top-of-them have been around since the (neo) stone ages, the overall history of modern day pizza is super sketchy and even the first sightings and descriptions of pizza-like pies are somewhat debatable. some say the first written records for the word “pizza” can be traced back to AD 997 italy and that the modern adaptation was spread by the world war II allied troops in the 20th century. others say that the earliest observations were made by 19th century french writer alexandre dumas, well-known for ‘the three musketeers’, who noted that “the pizza is a kind of triangular cheese pastry”. along with its indefinite roots, the modern day pizza itself is still a conundrum with its infinite variety of shapes, sizes, and regional / seasonal recipes - what is a pizza? pizza-purists say that the presence of tomato sauce is often a good measure for a bread’s pizzability. despite their arrival on european shores in the 16th century, tomatoes were believed to be as toxic as the fam of shady eggplants. it took another two centuries for europeans to feel comfortable enough to smother their freshly flattened out dough bbs and introduce us to the pizzeria staples, “marinara” and “margherita”. Whether you freeze it, chill it, heat it, top it, slice it, dip it, eat it, or dance with it, pizza can be found all around the world flaunting its tanned bod and seducing us for another slice. btw, “how it’s made - frozen pizza” episode is one of my all time favs - if you haven’t yet, treat yourself to another byte ; )❤️?pizza is love. love is pizza. . . #allaroundtheworld #lisastanfield #pizza #zza #bread #tomato #sauce #savage #80s #music #love #food #foodies #foodstagram #love #history #mukbang #dance #dancestagram #피자 #토마토 #음악 #먹방 #먹스타그램 #춤 #막춤 #댄스 #춤스타그램

PUFFY BLOBS OF JOY! □ where and when marshmallows were created still remains a mystery. mostly reserved for the holy ones a.k.a. gods and royalty, their recorded history can be traced back to ancient egypt as early as 2000bc. since the greeks and romans to up until 16c, the sugary sap of “mallow” plants that grow near waterlogged salty “marsh”es were brewed as a cure-it-all concoction for coughs, wounds, and even love pains. the 19c french confectionaries changed the game by experimenting with whipping up mallow sap with egg whites and corn syrup into nicely molded structures, successfully turning frowns upside down into saccharine smiles. ity-bity fluffy puffs of marshmallows bobbled across the atlantic ocean for another century to fulfill their american dreams to takeover the sweet tooths of the wild and free and they sure did. it didn’t take too long for these sweets to mix with all sorts of flavors as they pumped through heat, extruded through machines, cooled on conveyor belts, and were nicely packaged for mass consumption. most store-bought marshmallows are no longer mallows from marshes but are consisted of sugar, water, air, and some sort of congealing agent such as protein. □love it or hate it, money moves marshmallows to go around and around until they end up burning on a piece of stick □❤️□□ . . #bodakyellow #moneymoves #cardib @iamcardib #marshmallow #candy #sweet #sugar #history #food #foodies #love #dessert #mukbang #body #movement #hiphop #rap #music #adidas #dance #dancestagram #마시멜로 #디저저트 #힙합 #음악 #먹방 #막춤 #춤스타그램 #댄스 #댄스타그램

whacky tubular greens with young bb bulbs □□! unlike their bulb-alicious allium relatives such as garlics, shallots, and onions, these plants are prematurely harvested before their blubs reach their full potential (awwww). speculated to have been named after the ancient city of ashkelon (modern-day coastal city in israel), the greek word “askolonion” or what are now called “scallions” can be traced back to the 500bc botanical writings of theophrastus. scallions or green onions or spring onions or fresh little onions or thread onions or leafy onions or forest onions or blue onions or new onions or tubular onions or long onions or stick onions or precious onions or table onions or whatyoumaycallit onions... from region to region, the list of names go on and on, which shows how these sneaky slender greens have been a world-wide culinary phenom forever. perhaps scallions are the steve buscemi of alliums! amirite or amirite? ending ridiculous transmission with this slightly updated korean saying: love yourself until the roots of your hair turns white like those of scallions ❤️□□ . . #ddd #exid #scallions #green #onions #history #food #foodies #love #health #wellness #korean #girlgroup #kpop #love #selflove #body #movement #music @exidofficial #adidas #dance #dancestagram #이엑스아이디 #덜덜덜 #파 #야채 #걸그룹 #막춤 #춤스타그램 #댄스 #댄스타그램

□cut-cut-cutlery! charles simic in his 1999 poem "fork" writes how "this strange thing must have crept right out of hell." earliest forks crept out of ancient egypt in 20-30th bc and traveled the silkroad arriving on western tables. initially when introduced to the italians, substituting god-sent fingers with an artificial substitute was seen as sacrilegious. however, soon after adopted by the upperclass, industrialization propelled the circulation of these three-pronged utensils. knives take us back to the prehistoric homo sapiens and ever since, continued to become domesticated as time passed. as a tool for survival and ritualistic activities in various cultures, the greeks would leave knives under their pillows to slay nightmares. the fork n knife combo cuts deep into our lives as perpetual consumers □□♻️ . . #summersadness #lanadelrey #music #fork #knife #cutlery #utensils #ikea #history #food #dance #dancestagram #movement #칼 #포크 #역사 #막춤 #춤 #음악 #댄스 #댄스타그램

the first U.S. patent for applying silica desiccants in manufacturing can be traced back to the 60s. historically, more natural methods such as using salt and pepper were employed for preserving consumables fresh and sound □ . it wasn’t until the increased usage of gunpowder in the 19th century... (dun dun dun)... scientists started banging their heads to find new ways to prevent consumables from being affected by humidity. anyways, just saying that these packs are small but powerfully loaded □_□ oh yeah, and “DO NOT EAT!” . #newrules #dualipa #desiccant #silica #gel #donoteat #history #dance #movement #제습제 #먹지마세요 #댄스 #댄스타그램 @dualipa

in lieu of the olympics □□, here is my take on the korean national stretching routine□□‍♀️the original movement was designed in the 70s during he military regime and so along with the dramatic music and commanding voice, it is quite rigid. in elementary school, we had to participate in unison every monday morning *ugh!* . #pyeongchang2018 #olympics #korean #stretching #routine #dance #추억 #국민체조 #대한민국 #평창 #올림픽 #댄스
