At'onement Incorporeal

At’Onement’ INCorporeal explores the embodied and cognitive story of office culture and information organisation as a kind of hybrid evolution of hierarchy and subordination. The images draw on symbolic and material resonances that are tribal, colonial and contemporary while dwelling on emotive states linked to externalizing and minimising the role of  our sensory capacities  and overusing regions of our brain - grey matter. The works form part of an interactive installation that provokes reflection on the impacts of office culture, digitization and the emerging spectrum of embodied or physical and mental states. The installation plays with PowerPoint  (a program integral to information  presentation and dissemination) to moot the ways we engage with information and how we might have learnt to do so. The photographic images are presented in two sequences guiding contrasting patterns of attention. The first sequence draws attention to the kinds of thinking and habits we use in standardization and calculability whilst the second considers empathetic meaning making. These works draw on early online education experiences and contemporary neuropsychology that examines how digital technology shapes our bodies and brains.
