Delighted to be invited to show a new video ‘perpetual browse_r_2‘ in this exciting upcoming exhibition ‘Self Service’ curated by Genetic Moo and David Theobald.
‘The age of automation will be the age of do it yourself”, Marshall McLuhan
More and more we are being asked to do things ourselves. From shopping to car insurance, services that traditionally required a human representative have been redesigned so that customers complete their business interacting only with machines. Some might argue this gives us more flexibility and choice and while others see us all becoming unpaid employees, required to do the work in order to access what we need.Self Service curators
Taking its lead from the check-out counters of supermarkets and petrol station forecourts, this exhibition brings together 20 moving image works that respond to this idea of ‘self-service’. Works were contributed by members of the London Group, invited artists and artists chosen from an open call in response to the title.
