From Ryan Aasen (SMACT '20):
lonewolf is an ongoing, nonlinear investigation that documents access to and disconnect from the commons. How am I seen by acquaintances? How am I seen by state surveillance? How can I view myself, externally, through these social and political lenses, both metaphorical and literal? And, ultimately, how does an awareness of my external selves in turn dictate my internal actions, creating a feedback loop of actions?

As a photographer I approach this documentation with the knowledge that digital technology already autonomously catalogs my life, making easily available things I’d rather not have seen. This cataloging has affected the way I present myself in (pseudo-)public spaces as I both avoid and encourage photography based on its perceived later life. This has rendered the camera both an ally and an enemy, and my work plays with this duality as I actively implicate myself in the very moments I criticize.
