White Condo (Installation), Installation, Video, Photography
Project Details
White Condo is an installation that encompasses video, sculpture and photography. The work examines interstitial and overlapping relationships between science fiction, the natural environment and condo living to explore the anxieties of ubiquitous monitoring and mediation.
"There are eyes everywhere. No blind spot left. What shall we dream of when everything becomes visible? We'll dream of being blind."
― Paul Virilio
In this hyper-real age of simulated imagery and self-curated surveillance, many artists are returning to metaphors of authenticity and duplication to investigate the particular character of this post-millennial moment. Theorists like Virilio have interrogated the ways in which contemporary seeing modifies experience, encouraging the extreme desire for other worlds and, essentially, for disappearance itself. White Condo is my ironic attempt to contribute to this complex terrain, a satiric project for exploring the myriad dysfunctional ways that we humans attempt to 'master' ourselves and our increasingly artificial environments.
