USER_IS_PRESENT (grid series) shows a sequence of video and screen captures from a user’s mobile device, looping in their entirety. The video reflects a series of habits, the simultaneity of checking out and checking in, a repetition, a set of gestures, a body performing the gestures; a human user.
