disrupture, an exhibit (2018)

CRT Televisions, interactive sound panel, camcorders, wires, sound.

exploring the process of display, digiestion and dissemination of the consumption of screen based information, disrupture, an dxhibit presents visions of a feedback loop relaying live documentation of surrounding gallery spaces. Flickering seductively, the audience-interactive CRT television, camera, and audio based installation utilises mass-produced agents of simulacrum and hyper-reality. The work serves as product of – as well a metaphor to – an epoch defined by technological “legitimators” that perpetuate a limitless corruption of information and therefore an unbounded quantity of idealised perceptive variables. Juxtaposed against that which it documents – the live exhibition galleries adjacent to it – the work attempts to work as as a recurring producer of irrealities. Disrupture: an Exhibit seeks to expose such simulator mechanisms
