Cacophony, 2024
Mixed Media Video, 00:10:15An unexpected encounter with objects being kept on hold on shelves in a charity shop served as the motivation for our projects. These items on hold were waiting to participate again in the social narratives of people and their lives. The moments of shelf life temporarily emancipated these objects from the inert backdrop of human experience without the mediation of human-centered perceptions of the world. The sentient existence of ordinary artifacts is often overlooked in our immediate environment, in which human subjects objectify things within their realm of thoughts. According to Benjamin, things are never just inert or passive objects, but carry aura, tension, force, and autonomy in social relations. Our conception of work is to speculate on mundane objects in the autonomous mode of cultural and social output. Once desired and privatized objects become active participants in the network they become the subjects of shared stories as communication passes on through time and space. Our encounter with things entails a collision with their previous or past experience twisted grotesquely into endless desires for commodities. Our projects liberate things by inviting them to an ethereal and immaterial sphere of digital culture. Our digital images collapse and disembody material structures by manipulating digitalized objects. They are digitally cut, morphed, and rendered with the incorporation of 3D modeling and virtual reality technologies. The aesthetic of extreme artificiality and virtuality signifies our resistance against objects’ status as capitalist commodities. If a digital image is another form of a thing, our work is an immortal site in which sentient beings are ceaselessly infused with materialization.
