BORDERLINE DIGITAL
clinical diagnosis of mental dependency on digital data
an audio/visual critique of civilization through digital technology
and an exploration of fragmentation, alienation, pixelation
JUNE 3rd,
STATION40
3030B 16st @ Mission
San Francisco
thinking of digital bits that make up music, images, or video, in the
same way atoms make our three dimensional reality, millions of pieces
that together create the appearance of a smooth surface, but are indeed
independent, anomalous, and disorganized.
as a metaphor to human society, the promise of technology suggests
connectivity, communication, unity. but it is alienation, the force
that creeps in through the cracks of our fragmented social networks,
pixelated and corrupted, yet unable to reboot.
using the medium, the science and the derived technology, Borderline
Digital will tiptoe the fine line between the hype of digital
technology and the hypocrisy of primitivist abolition, to turn
technology inside out on it's belly and point out it's vulnerabilities
without getting too fussy about it's impending takeover and ultimate
demise.
here we are in the year 2006, and we have seen the future, we are post
modern and post futuristic, we are post post apocalyptic, we are living
in the days beyond the space odyssey. the red eye of the soft spoken
demented computer running the ship on it's way to jupiter is but a
dream induced hallucination. the reality we are waking up to is much
different, that digital voice, is nothing but an automatic answering
software running on a server farm in texas, telling us to please hold
on the line until our future is available... and yet we cant seem to
hang up that phone.
