All that is Solid Melts into Air (2024-2025)
Final work for MA Fine Art: Computational Arts at Camberwell College of Arts (UAL)All That is Solid Melts into Air explores the nuances of fascist aesthetics and technological mimesis in hopes of eventual or possible subversion to the loss of bodily autonomy within a system prioritizing technological acceleration, particularly our machines imbued with violence. These technologies, often rising out of the veiled military-industrial complex , are sold to us as tools for progress and safety, yet, their primary functions remain surveillance, patrolling, and weaponry. Recontextualizing this authoritarian design, questioning how one or we can reclaim agency over the hypernormalized hybridized human-machine identities and subvert the unsettling reality of being “complicit” weapons of war through our being and data.
