a photographic survey of an emergent cybernetic landscape Shot in a
variety of locations- ranging from the political spectacle of
Washington D.C. to the National Radio Quiet Zone in rural West
Virginia- Wilderness of Mirrors visualizes contemporary mechanisms
of control that employ technology, anxiety, and images as a means
to destabilize and restructure belief. Through diverse modes of
image-making, the sequence unveils discrete social and
technological systems which are embedded into the fabric of
everyday life and serve to reinforce and advance dominant
structures of capital and power. The series presents these
conditions as a veritable wilderness- a landscape of images and
devices that infinitely deflects, replicates, and distorts any
information within its borders. These devices fuel a hyper-partisan
fervor and virulent strains of misinformation, all against a
backdrop of psychographic advertising and domestic
mass-surveillance. By guiding the viewer through these absurd
surfaces and circumstances, the images allude to the ways our
perception is quietly directed and managed via algorithm to the
benefit of corporate interests and intelligence organizations.
Ultimately, Wilderness of Mirrors aspires to locate the
intersections of simulation, power, and concealment in order to
disentangle the mesh of our personal, political and digital selves;
it describes an urgent need to reclaim the agency we have lost to
convenience and abstraction. The work seeks to question default
realities and reframe our relationship to this digital landscape,
before it is completely determined for us.
