Monument Emitter (work in progress)
3D rendered video, 04:00, 2023
“When they trumpeted the meliorative power of beauty, they were stating the belief in its capacity to shape human thought and behavior“ (William H. Wilson, 1989). This work indicates the broad representative symbols that represent the ideals of civic virtue show up within the City Beautiful movement during the 1980s - 1900s in the USA. A consequence of digital collapses and oozing objects reveals the rigid narratives about community consciousness over beauty and the extension of social control attempts. The empty monument plinths were converted into particle emitters while associating lawn sprinklers and fountain water droplets that connect the historical reality and bourgeois tastes. The addon textures remind a series of abstract concepts such as order, dignity, and harmony, to formulate a fleeting experience of separation from language.
