A site-specific light installation featuring 11 hanging LED shop signs.
Each sign reframes the emerging technology of today as something pedestrian and disposable. The piece questions our relationship with new technologies, our worship of tech oligarchs and the singular visions of the future they propose.
The piece imagines a future very different to the ones promised to us by Big Tech, and encourages us to ask ourselves what we hope to gain from technology, and who we allow to define this vision. Will these self-appointed architects of the future save us from disaster, or will their innovations and disruptions only accelerate our demise? Do they move us forward? Or do they leave us behind - futureless?
One of the signs went on to be selected for the RA Summer Exhibition 2022.
