"Unit
of Measure" - 1998 "Unit of Measure" presents a site where the cultural, technological, physical and emotional collide. It is a direct response to my ambivalence about my (our) dependence and trust (or faith) in the technological in the face of the vulnerability of the physical; namely our bodies. This work is a direct response to the various degrees of presence and (in)visibility of technology in our culture. It is an attempt at a non-verbal discourse on the problematics and cultural assumptions of technological innovation: the degree to which we use it to measure our success or failure; the crisis of representation it presents; the inappropriate comparative models it poses; and, despite all of this, the insistence on the visceral in the face of physical and genetic removal, substitution and adaptation. |
