All day and All night
In September 2003, the artist recorded twenty-four hours of network television and bought every product with a barcode that was advertised. The footage and products were used to create All day and All night, an interactive, multimedia installation, developed as a commentary on American consumer culture.
"All day and All Night" is an interactive/multimedia experience. I recorded 24 hours of network television in September 2003 and bought every product with a barcode that was advertised. This project was developed as a commentary on American consumer culture after that experience.
The project is evolving in parts. I designed a framework/aesthetic to present my version of consumer culture. As in product focus groups, which utilize consumer input/interaction to develop or refine a product, I am observing how gallery visitors interact with this project. From my observations I am refining the design to reflect user interface, circulation, and conceptual issues.
My motives are covert. I will discuss any aspect of the show from construction to concept. However, I will not discuss the connection between the Firing Range and the Scan Station.
