Synthetic Sirens
What happens to us as humans, our shared humanity, living in algorithmic societies?
Synthetic Sirens surrounds visitors with floor-to-ceiling projections that respond to the bodies moving through the space. At the centre stands a ring light: the tool of the influencer, the symbol of the creator economy. The system watches. The walls respond. The sirens sing.
As you enter the installation, you are emersed in a audio-visual dopamine inducing overload. A cacophony of smartphone notification flow from the 12-channel audio track and the walls are filled with videos from the feed.
Throughout the length of the work, the sirens talk to you though the 12-channel audio work. Luring you further and further into the feed – getting you into a trance of doomscrolling.
