Smoke Gets in your A.I. (2018-9)
Screenprint, Plexiglass, Steel, Wood, 26"x60"
The first 2 in a growing series of sculpturally displayed prints, these works reflect my investigation into themes of the technological in a way that critiques cultural relationships to machines. Framed in an industrial viewing apparatus that evokes an invitation to scrutinize and analyze the information isolated within it, each print collage opens conversations about realities of time, space, and truth. Through works that mobilize print media and manipulate spaces, I investigate how knowledge is produced and identities are constructed.

Selected pages from the first iteration of the Gendered Machines zine series. This project helps to ground this body of work conceptually within a theoretical framework of texts.
"Information is warped through its transmission across media and time. Normalcy, institutionally constructed and culturally reified, is endlessly replicated in what we build; the need to manifest the self in our creations. A pattern of the recycled is peddled as newness. Bodies are instrumentalized, identities reduced to how they can be mechanized in order to serve and support; the whole comprised of its parts, dependent on them to function. Undue expressions of domination over another from position of power is not evidence of strength, but of its vulnerability, the potential it has to be lost."
