Interactive video installation
Dimensions variable
2019
Immerse yourself in the luxurious world of an Instagram influencer as you fly through opulent baroque palaces and dissolve in glitchy, industrial-chic landscapes. This interactive installation combines real-time video of viewers with beautiful but uncanny advertising imagery. Traces of our colonialist and capitalist history shimmer just beneath the surface of these playful, layered visuals, inviting viewers to question media messages and the norms these messages reinforce.
#buynow was commissioned by Illuminus for their 2019 outdoor festival in Boston’s Financial District.
