Reading Like Rory: Post-Digital Reading on BookTok
Like many others, I downloaded TikTok during the pandemic. I'd seen the headlines touting its uncanny ability to personalize the content users see and was wary of getting sucked into another social media app. But I was teaching a class on digital media and in the middle of planning a dissertation on the relationship between contemporary literature and digital culture. I'd read articles about BookTok and wanted to experience it for myself.

Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, artist and composer Rory Pilgrim develops RAFTS as the second chapter in a body of performance, film and sonic work exploring how the climate crisis relates to support structures in our everyday lives. The commission is narrated by the voices of eight residents of Barking and Dagenham from Green Shoes Arts: Hugh, Carina, Liam, Butterfly, Katy, Dee, Mark, and Eddie, who each in their own way reflect on what the symbol of a raft means to them.
