Media Ingestion
The desire to be in front of the unblinking eye of the image drives our every sensory impulse… we can’t take our eyes off the image… which is why social spaces are lit by the light of television… the need for the constant presence of media has become so primal, so innate, so necessary, that we are no longer aware of it… the electronic signal feeds us, nourishes us, and we are never satiated… Immersion + Ingestion: electronic disturbances + the beauty of thee abstractions pushed to a rabid thirst for the unreal… This is my process in the studio: an orchestrator of the Feed, the stream – a torrent of pixels and invisible binary data – applying a bit of algorithmic magic to intoxicate the senses, as cathartic shock to the toxic system of the ebb and flow of media ingestion and exhalation… This is the SHOW: the process of making, the raw performance of artistic creation, it is REPORTAGE, it is not a finished WORK, it is the HEAT of ideas in formation, emerging, taking shape, before they coalesce into something finished, it is the Studio FEED, it is FEEDING through media ingestion and exhalation, it is like BREATHING, it is the ebb + flow of ideas exploding in the air… A performance of critique through ingestion.
