Item description from seller
Paperback. New commissioned work by an important American contemporary artist using a multidisciplinary approach to examine issues of race and identity Produced for the Future Fields Commission in Time-Based Media by the multidisciplinary artist Martine Syms (b. 1988), Neural Swamp is an immersive video installation that builds upon Symss interest in the proliferation, circulation, and consumption of images, as well as her continued research into machine systems that erase or make invisible Black bodies, voices, and narratives. The publication documents this new work, offering in-depth analysis and a visual essay that reflects the specific approach to images and text characterizing Symss practice. Neural Swamps multichannel presentation reveals its characters through their reading of a continually changing script, the variations determined by a text-generating model. Through these dynamic interactions, along with the installations physical elements, Syms creates a kaleidoscopic view of the world and our complex relationship with one another and with technology. New commissioned work by an important American contemporary artist using a multidisciplinary approach to examine issues of race and identity Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.…
