In using traditional craft and bright colors to examine complex issues of technology, I hope to open analogue spaces that allow us to reflect upon our collective relationship with internet technologies, identity, legacy, and the future.
Let Go, Let Techno
An exhibition of 16 quilts that dive into the nature of our quests for freedom that can only be nurtured by nightfall. These quilts examine individual visions of freedom through a collective framework that when we transform ourselves, we transform the world around us. That when we LET GO, LET TECHNO on the dancefloor, we tap into our collective potential opening the possibility for that transformation to occur.
Crafting Our Digital Future
Featured in the UM Stamps Gallery, May 2022.
“Detroit-based artist, musician, and educator Mother Cyborg (aka Diana J. Nucera) debuts a series of quilts that references our relationship to digital technologies, data-mining and security in the age of the Internet. Using bright colors, geometric shapes and patterns, Crafting Our Digital Legacy opens up analogue and tactile spaces that invite audiences to reflect upon our collective relationship with internet technologies, identity, legacy, and the future. Mother Cyborg draws from over 15 years experience as a community organizer in Detroit, MI where individuals gained access and agency to (re-)build their neighborhoods, and run their own Internet service providers. In this exhibition, the artist expands her artist self through fiber works where she addresses critical issues of surveillance, data collection, the redaction of love to likes, and the complexity of identity within it all.”
