Jennifer + Kevin McCoy: Index
- Description:
- Index is a commissioned public art installation at EMPAC by Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute arts alumni Jennifer and Kevin McCoy, which consists of multiple sculptures filmed via small, live cameras. The resulting software based video presentation, as well as the models, appear throughout EMPAC's public spaces. Over the span of the exhibition, the artists will add sculptures at various locations in the building.
Inspired by a J.G. Ballard short story called The Index, in which an alphabetized list of people and places point to global conspiracy, the McCoys’ project examines the Ballardesque scenes of today, referencing globalization, technology, mass migrations, and war. Corporate campuses, film sets, Spanish Colonial Revival architecture, and factories all collide in a globalized mediated framework that exists to support utopian goals, even as it rests upon resource depletion, financial instabilities, and entropic decay. These problems of environmental and economic collapse persist in the face of the never-changing rhetoric of the assumed benefits of the technological future.
Free and open to the public.
