ABSTRACT:

“He stood there for a moment looking around the silent room, shaking his head slowly. All these books, he thought, the residue of a planet’s intellect, the scrapings of futile minds, the leftovers, the potpourri of artefacts that had no power to save men from perishing.”

Richard Matheson, I am legend

The installation is set in a dystopian future, where the income gap impedes the majority of the population access to media. The artist’s new medium is trash and the e-waste dump. Liberated from the digital black box he/she is now forced to use earth, found metals and urine to power electronic waste materials.

Future Cenum was exhibited at Copeland Gallery (London, UK) and will be shown at ISEA 2017 (Manizales, Colombia).
