My content is not readily apparent in the work of art, but rather, it is a concept that resolves itself in space after we acknowledge the information presented and compare it to our own knowledge. To use a scheme: the function (f) of the artwork is in relationship to the variables (you’, here’, now’); If (f) is art, then (f) = (viewer, space, time). The objects and systems can take the form of new media and sculpture, and sometimes a book, and sometimes a song. These works enact that sense of seriality that can rid art from the anthropomorphic and representational in lieu of the critique of subjectivity, to examine ourselves as we examine others and relate to one another from that examination. In this way, I want to enact, not sympathy, but empathy in the viewer towards the subject of their attention, those around them, and themselves.
