(HD Video, 16:9, 6 mins, Projection, 2014) Black Box, noun: A device which performs intricate functions but whose internal mechanism may not readily be inspected or understood. Formally borrowing from internet aesthetics ranging from YouTube conspiracy videos to instructional desktop demonstrations this piece uses new imaging perspectives to explore the notion of the Black Box as gesture of power and ideology, gestures founded in faith and illusion. The Black Box has sublimity beyond visuality; by definition it is non-visual, a prosaic non-object, yet it has greatness beyond all possibility of calculation, meaning, imagination and imitation; a vertiginous construct; a hall of mirrors. This is the paradox but also the power of the Black Box.
