Control+Escape (Upcoming Exhibition)
This body of work draws on the drama, movement, and excess of the Baroque to examine the rapid and disorienting rise of Artificial Intelligence in our undeniably momentous age. The series is about structure, interruption and the struggle to remain human inside systems that increasingly want to automate, regulate and absorb us.
The dot serves as a central symbol, carrying multiple meanings: computer code, Morse signals, spyglass sight-lines, bullets, dominoes, “sold out” gallery stickers, inkjet reproduction, misdirection/lures, and motion-capture trace points. Grids, checkerboards and patterns reference systems, algorithms and history itself (now destabilised and overturned) which, contrasted with gestural forms, question where individuality and creativity survive amid accelerating technological control.
