LUCY RAVEN
Part of Control: Technology in Culture
7 November 2014 - 11 January 2015
New York and Oakland-based artist Lucy Raven uncovers the diffuse, obscured systems that support modern life through a research-led practice that encompasses installations, lectures, performances, films, and essays.
Deeply attuned to visual culture in a networked, globalized world, her work explores topics like the obsolesce of film test patterns, to the outsourcing of postproduction work for the film industry from Hollywood to countries around the world, and the immense infrastructure behind the global copper mining industry. Often, Raven’s contemplative storytelling reveals the tangled complexity beneath the seamless gloss of new technology.
