Monument, 2017

installation

Monument explores the monolithic state of our current technologies in relation to their insistent material presence. Starting with the idea that all technologies are in effect ‘black boxes’ to most users who engage with them, I create structures for the opening up of these black boxes. In this installation, Monument (News), a 10ft x 20ft wall of 42 broken LCD TVs of various sizes live-streams the news. While the broken screens reveal the disorder of their liquid insides, they deliver the equally disordered stories of our current socio-political climate.
