Paleo diets, birth control, steroids, night shifts, climate change, gun control, mortgage loans, and Sex And The City spelled the End of Men.I looked you up on the internet. Swipe right for a good time. What are you but another lamb on the market?Not all men are islands. Some float aimlessly from shore to shore. Others create empires on their continents. And even more cling to each other like hovering algae.Some are dense and stocky like marble, stale like a full-bodied wine that's been left open for too long.

Some men hunt and some men steal. Some swim upstream to spawn and disappear.You are floating in a sea of men. Their bodies slither around you like eels on a dancefloor.Sea of Men shows my admiration and contempt for the best and worst of masculinity.Jennifer Chan makes remix videos, gifs and websites that contend with gendered affects of media culture.
