 I am interested in providing a subversive counter-discourse to the aesthetics and politics which have risen out of the dot com bubble and subsequent venture capitalist maneuverings of the late 2000s and 2010s. By reproducing and distorting images pulled from government-affiliated game developers, the “FAANG” tech companies, as well as other corporate entities, I want to allow for a more comprehensive analysis of media imagery.. Through the printing process, artifacts and idiosyncrasies become a part of the composition, providing an ironic humanity to the subject matter. This acts to undermine the depersonalized authority of the tech world and suggest a more layered perspective.
