Just as technology resides in its own visual identity, so does work produced using that technology. Because of the integration of the computer in the process of Digital and New Media artwork, a cyborg creative force is founded in the collaboration of man and machine, and the particular machine used in the creation of the work leaves a specific mark upon its identity. It is through the generations of computing equipment then, that New Media work can be subclassified, establishing a new kind of history: a history of obsolete hardware. In my installations, I appropriate manufactured remnants and icons of computer culture, both future and obsolete, in a sort of enduring functionality- anthropomorphic and absurd. My art exists in this strange realm between human and machine, a space of cyborg symbiosis, of technotrash and future nostalgia. In the “Cyborg Manifesto”, Donna Haraway asserts, “Our machines are disturbingly lively, and we ourselves frighteningly inert.”
