Tech Section
A flat panel presents an ever-scrolling ticker of very short, computer-generated news items. We unquestionably benefit from automation, yet, to put it mildly, mishaps do occur. Imagine a world in which such automated technologies are ubiquitous — but such incidents were routinely cataloged, and only briefly mentioned, as if in a police blotter. In Tech Section, we see all the news that is barely fit to print. Félix Fénéon’s “filler” news items are one inspiration, giving a sense of early 20th Century life in France and written in an oddly engaging style, and including indications of social unrest alongside technological advance. Franz Kafka’s formulaic clerical reports on industrial accidents are another basis. There are also connections to computational projects such as MEXICA by Rafael Pérez y Pérez, a story generator that produces plots in a sophisticated way but also uses simple templates. Perhaps ironically, here the news items that suggest the dangers of computer technology are produced by computer.

Wan Wan
In Japanese, a dog barking is written/heard as “wan wan,” which in
English sounds like “one one” or “11.” In English, the same sound is
heard as “woof woof” or “bow wow”. For this work, I selected eleven
different onomatopoeias from eleven different languages and put these
eleven international dogs into a text conversation, a sort of canine
United Nations. Despite the reference point being identical for each
language, each onomatopoeia is highly unique, suggesting that even on
something as primal as the sound of a dog barking, our parallel sense
of interpretation is far from consistent.David Wright - 02.01.2024 - 06:15
