Two Lives and Two True Machines I

In collaboration with Tom McCaughan

The exhibition explores contemporary conditions of labour and shifts in the way capital is measured, in order to reimagine the relationship between the human body and capital accumulation, utilising the visual language and technologies embedded in the production and circulation of commodities and services to comment on the structure of that relationship. The artworks in the exhibition explore attempts to control economic systems through technology, science and medicine, and how they maintain the continuous production of desires, with a promise of improved life experience through optimised efficiency, productivity and self-regulation.
