Immediately recognizable by her bold, colourful makeup looks, Jessie Edelstein is exploring what it means to be a ‘digital girl,’ with her latest audiovisual project
Jessie.Mp3. Having already released two singles under Jessie.Mp3,
Content.MP4 and
Redbull, Edelstein is currently at work on an EP that explores the relationship between the digital and real world. Her makeup and style feel like a hyperpop star obsessed with the 2000s and influenced by digital culture. She imagines a world in which digital plastic surgery exists, allowing a person to simply make a new face with the click of a button. We spoke with Edelstein about her music, queer identity, and self-expression in the digital space, particularly about how the face can be used as a platform to express one’s identity.
