‘GOOD VIBES ONLY (beta test)’ is the first chapter of the larger project ‘GOOD VIBES ONLY’.
The work is structured as a beta test—the first phase of software testing in real usage conditions by actual users. The project investigates the concept of scrolling and, borrowing the structure of a free trial, questions the relationship between performativity and consumption.
