Excerpt from the exhibition catalog
“Your work in this exhibition is dominated by screens in terms of its production and reception, but, crucially, you also seem to be critically interrogating screens, or how screens work in society. You’ve referenced journalist Leigh Alexander on the topic, who says: ‘I walk onto the subway and I see aisles of people with their faces in luminous screens, tapping and playing something. I wonder what we’re doing with our ability to reach that many people and if we’re providing them with meaningful activity instead of just distractionware.’”
