Arts+Culture / First LookWhat is Jeanette Hayes doing for Halloween?Turning pop culture into a web fiends dream, the artist pits Kim K and the ISIS threat against each other for her ‘IRLScary’ multimedia mash-upShareLink copied ✔️October 31, 2014Arts+CultureFirst LookText Ashleigh Kane If you were wondering what New York-based multimedia artist Jeanette Hayes is up to on this day of dread then you're in for a treat. Her fascination with pop cultural phenomena is obvious from the first glance of her Twitter bio, where the artist compares herself to the likes of Joan Rivers, Heidi Montag and Donatella Versace. For her latest work, Hayes has dreamt up a Halloween special for Dazed. In an epic mash-up of the world around us, Kim K., kitsch Halloween computer graphics, and the Ebola and ISIS threats turn into an amalgamation of real life horror. Turn up your speakers, lock the door and delve into the depths of Haye’s mind with these wise words; "dont worry, the screen of your computer will act as a barrier between you and these pictures of real life. please, for you own safety, stay in your office/bedroom and lock the door and maybe even block out the window (except for a small part because sunlight is supposed to make you healthy) and avoid the real life because tis the real life that will bend you like beckham. IRL IS SCARY AND IMA SHOW U WHY". For the rest of Haye’s Halloween series on NewHive, click here. Escape the algorithm!
