30 Days of Red is a multimedia art installation that explores the emotional and psychological toll of navigating an HPV-related diagnosis amidst vast digital information. Human papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections, affecting around 80% of sexually active individuals. Despite its prevalence, misinformation and online panic often cloud public understanding, turning routine health concerns into sources of deep anxiety.
The installation reflects on the overwhelming impulse to seek answers online—despite the warnings against "Googling" symptoms. During the artist’s own experience with an HPV-related condition, limited access to immediate medical consultation led to heightened anxiety, fueled by symptom searches on Google, ChatGPT consultations, subreddit deep dives, and advice from friends. The tension between uncertainty and unreliable information forms the core of this work.
By combining personal physical experiences with scattered digital information, 30 Days of Red invites the audience to reflect on the challenges of health, uncertainty, and the emotional impact of misinformation.
