The Internet is Here: Warms
The Internet is Here is a series of triptychs of variable size and mixed media, digital prints and pencil drawings.
The Internet is disappearing – from our screens into our stuff.
The central image of each triptych is a drawing of a “thing” I own.
Each triptych takes its title from an action ascribed to the “thing”.
The other images are the results of two searches made using Google on 17th March 2015.
On the left is displayed an image returned by performing a word search on the title.
The right hand image is the result of a search using the Google “search by image” function.
Making meaning and relationships across image and text, digital and physical realms is slippery at best. Our ability to do it well, and imagine new relationships becomes more important as the Internet of Things grows, baking in new societal values with new technical infrastructures.
