BRANDY TRIGUEROS // Curator’s Choice Award, 1st Place

BRANDY TRIGUEROS, The Dadabyte Theater // Curator’s Choice Award, 1st Place

An ode to the Dadaists and Bauhauslers, The Dadabyte Theater explores the technologized body within the present Fourth Industrial Revolution. Utilizing in-camera auto portraiture, Trigueros reflects on the complexity of contemporary cyborg configurations and attempt to find balanced modes of being in a hyper-connected, mechanical society dominated by technology. Autonomous machines of war, labor, pleasure, care, and other computational systems of control and comfort are being produced within this dizzying systemic capitalist merry-go-round. By using products of industry, Trigueros illustrates the constraints, contradictions, and complexities of our technological entanglement. brandytrigueros.com
