Conjuring the Goddexx of the Technosphere (A Working and Non-Working), 2024
Performance, latex and glass sculpture
An experimental occult working centered around petitioning the Hindu deity Durga from the artist’s ancestral lineage to safeguard against “technocratic doom”. Digitally affected harp segments composed by the artist punctuated the rite, which was designed to draw attention to the current dialectic in technological advancement where we stand at the precipice of the mass adoption of technologies developed with insufficient ethical oversight, which pose both risk and great benefit, at the same moment that esotericists across myriad lineages foresee our potential transition into a new aeon. The cessation of the performance consisted with the distribution of pamphlets housed within the sculpture to exhibit-goers, that turned this bid to safeguard the future into easily accessible and prosaic calls-to-action.
Full pamphlet available for reading and distributing here.
