‘To 'use' and to be 'used' by objects is part of my long-running fascination with seamless 'userfriendly' functionality as a mode of control that straddles physical and digital spaces. The merging of man and machine is happening on a behavioral plane- I’m interested in the generic 'mimetic' behaviors or performed genuinity as part of the human experience of algorithmical conditioning. Stuck in a feedback loop, the self resolves. Much like a BDSM contractual agreement, in my work the 'Body' is willfully being supported, trapped, pampered and ultimately disabled, while on display for the general public’.
