Critiquing Technology (1995-2000)
In the mid 1990’s, the internet was a rapidly emerging, vast, fascinating and unknown frontier, full of myths, fears, fantasies and possibilities, and during a residency at the Banff Arts Centre, I developed works that critiqued this technology. Theorizing the Internet is what the Railroad was, my project used an exhibition catalogue from the George Pompidou Centre on Railways social and historical impact as a framework to make various stations. Within the residency the work quickly evolved in many expected but mostly totally unexpected ways ranging from individual objects to large scale group performances. Works from the "Post-Technology Toxic Waste Bowl" series were exhibited at the Canadian Clay Currents exhibition at NCECA in 1996.
