PEACE CORE

PEACE CORE A video work of infinite duration that continually auto-edits American television footage first broadcast in the moments before the world-changing events of September 11, 2001.

Peace Core could be seen as a never-ending performance that infinitely extends a final suspended illusion of the end of history. Bathing in the warm light of this historical singularity is an exhibition that draws overlooked connections between the cultural legacies of the West and the violence that has followed in its wake, straddling three event horizons – one that was seen in real time at the twilight of the broadcast era, another that occurred in its geopolitical aftermath but went largely unreported for years, and a third that we face now at the dawn of a technological convergence in the era of artificial intelligence.
