USB Prepared
The installation USB Prepared, in which 10-foot-long iPhone USB cables are tied into a net, is part of an ongoing project imagining an absurd expedition to Sandy Island, a phantom island in the South Pacific depicted on traditional and virtual maps until 2012, when it was discovered to have never existed, and was erased from Google Earth. Along with the installation Going Nowhere with Polar Seltzer, USB Prepared imagines the kinds of equipment and cargo needed for a strictly virtual journey, exploring ideas of distance, connectedness and technological reliance and ‘survival’. The net is hung from the ceiling, referencing topographical representations of land.
