2021 Exhibition
26. Men Who Devour Themselves in Mirrors
Artist Information
In this exhibition, rhythmic gestures are used as a research method to consider how technology is employed for self-fashioning. In making visible both the restrictions and the freedoms of digital culture, artist Logan Dandridge explores how identities and histories are created, transformed, or invented. For some, technology is a means to an end: a memoir, a fictional history, an intimate view of a person’s life. Others interrogate the power relations of these same tools, from “big data” consumer portraits to facial recognition software. The exhibited work manipulates technologies to narrate, alter, augment, or invent new identities and histories – to imagine another world. The idea of individual context, of experiential relativity, threads together the works in this exhibition, and structures its form and its content. The visitor is invited to encounter new environments and travel a branching, non-linear, path through images that explore the convergence of perception, narrativity, and self-making.
