Description

The New Normal brings together 15 recent artworks by Sophie Calle, Mohamed Camera, Hasan Elahi, Eyebeam R & D/Jonah Peretti & Michael Frumin, Kota Ezawa, Miranda July and Harrell Fletcher, Guthrie Lonergan, Jill Magid, Jennifer and Kevin McCoy, Trevor Paglen, Corinna Schnitt, Thomson & Craighead, Sharif Waked and Angie Waller that use private information as raw material and subject matter. Spanning from video to websites, sculpture, found objects and photographs, the works offer access to three private contexts: the body, the home and personal data. In some cases, these contexts are accessed by force or by stealth; in other cases, the artists make use of freely available (or poorly protected) personal data online. Several of the works reflect on disclosure as a means for creating intimacy between people, while others make voluntary disclosures of personal information as an empowering form of self-representation.
