Description

“Addicted to 'D'...” is the first in a new series exploring addiction, based on results generated by predictive search engine … more “Addicted to 'D'...” is the first in a new series exploring addiction, based on results generated by predictive search engine queries. Each piece begins by entering a phrase, in this case, “addicted to d”, into a search engine. The predictive suggestions are then compiled in list form. Generated by algorithms, predictive searches are based on popular queries and reflect the personal, emotional, and inherently human questions and concerns of our times. When taken out of context, the list of words creates elusive poetry that seeks to inspire viewers to make their own connections based on personal associations.
"Addicted to 'D'..." is made with acrylic paint, water crayons, and collage on paper. Handsomely finished in a found frame and protected by UV-resistant plexiglass, "Addicted to 'D'..." is ready to hang. less
