Exit

The exhibition was held in April of 2016 at a kind of intermediate point in time. The primaries were still divided between insider and outside politicians and the American people had a certain degree of uncertainty. The space served as a kind of divinatory prediction upon my thoughts of the outcome.

There is a sort of abstract and nondescript logic to the process which could be felt by the viewer. Regardless of their opinions, I felt that this was a kind of indisputable outcome, that voicing ones opinions on Facebook would not actively have an outcome on the election. Some of the links featured on my page would later be deemed "Russian Propaganda", but they were framed in such a way and provided to an audience who was largely opposed their insinuations. The powers in play would do what they would with or without our vocal opposition.

The mixture of artworks, Facebook posts and exposed electrical and ethernet input created a sort of crystalizing moment of offline reflection on the online presence. The room itself also became hot after prolonged exposure to the lights and multiple inside with a partially blocked entrance.

In leaving, I felt that the viewer would probably not change their minds about, my persona or their political stance. Although everyone is their own judge, there is no power behind their gavel.
