I Am My Own Messiah consists of 6 audio pieces and an accompanying text, located at the vonhemmling.net website. This work was created holistically, with the themes woven through both the audio and text. Both should be considered to be equally important parts of the whole.

Sources from the everyday media of 2006 - 2011 (mp3s, Youtube, a streaming webcam, commercial text-to-speech software) were used to create the audio. A major theme of the work is being at the mercy of contemporary technology. When you have an untreatable illness you become keenly aware of the state of contemporary (medical) technology and the fact that common knowledge and technology is often brutally ugly, relatively low tech and mundane.

The text itself is also intended to embody the banality of a contemporary art practice (the artist's notes) and to reflect the prevalence of explanatory information/analyses available on the internet (and with things such as DVD commentaries).
