September 5 – December 29, 2024
“Ghost in the Machine” is an art installation that combines physical and digital elements to delve into the themes of remote work, troll farms, virtual assistance, and the effects of the digital age on our daily lives. The project seeks to highlight the often overlooked yet essential workforce that operates behind our device screens.
The artwork features a number of smartphones affixed to the walls, their wires conspicuously exposed, evoking the image of troll farms.
