I don’t care about the avant garde, all I care about is you
2022
Video with audio, 7min 56sec, SONY CR TV, Vinyl, studio stands
Overall: 5ft. x 11ft. x12.5ft.
The work is a performative study of AI’s subjectivity through (affective) literacy and avant-garde cyber graphics.
The title "I Don't Care About the Avant-Garde, All I Care About Is You" references Nam June Paik's 1984 broadcast "Good Morning, Mr. Orwell." While Paik’s project envisioned a utopian potential, the grid points a declining optimism about technology and its liberatory claims.
The video features a conversation between the artist and a hyperfeminine companion robot, as it developed through the introduction of feminist theories into the robot's algorithm. The dialogue explores issues of non-human identity, agency, free will, emancipation and power dynamics.
