My work revels in the contradictions of navigating intimacy in contemporary gay life. My current research uses both archival histories and the ephemeral histories of personal experience to examine how cruising – the queer practice of finding casual sex in public spaces – has shifted in the context of digital life. Looking at the network of interactions facilitated by the semi-public space of Grindr, Scruff and other location-based hook up apps, my interdisciplinary practice interrogates the role these apps play in structuring and mediating relationships within the queer community in ways that are simultaneously empowering and alienating.
