Boxed Behavior

Year: 2021

Media: Quilt

Dimensions/Duration: 72" x 58"

This quilt uses boxes to represent technological designs that measure and predict human behavior. Multitudes of boxes accumulate, containing our lives.  

I often think about how categorization creates its own structures, and the human impulse to predict. Nowadays it is hard to decipher what we choose, and what chooses us. Is there a box capable of capturing our self-determination, or is that our only weapon against a surveillance state?
