This exhibition presents a speculative future. Realizing to what point technology has compromised our ways of seeing and thinking, humanity has made radical adaptations to preserve itself from the extinction of thought. The exhibition starts with an inversion of media theorist Marshall McLuhan's concept of "an eye for an ear." It ends with the lonely sound of the last male Kauai O'o bird, singing its mating call to a long-gone female, extinct at the hands of human development. Working conceptually across multiple mediums—photo, video, sound, and sculpture—AFTER IMAGES is an immersive meditation on technology, memory, extinction, and the role of sight and sound in human intelligence.
