To make visible the invisible.
Screen printed QR codes of work orders from Amazon's Mechanical Turk platform placed around the city of Ithaca, NY. Each code can be scanned via your phone and will display the text contained in the code. On the back of each square is a laser-cut map of Ithaca showing the location of every code throughout the city. The locations of the codes is determined via a transposed world map that shows the highest populations of workers on the Mechanical Turk platform. |

To make illegible the legible.
A series of hybrid prints (gum transfer, drawing, chine collé, and monoprint). The imagery is determined via binary code built from complaints and observations of Turkers from popular Amazon Mechanical Turk forums. |

To make material the immaterial.
Handmade paper, laser cut embossings. The internet exists in a real space, each search or AI prompt uses energy, water, labor. The place I am from, Northern Virginia, is the main location of the servers that house the internet in what is called "Data Center Alley". This piece echoes the feel of those data centers - the odd segmented cubes kept behind gates and closed doors that house the thoughts, desires, and whims that we feed our phones.
