Antfarm
Contemporary Art Center Feb 2 - 27 2000 New Orleans, LA
Antfarm was an opportunity to combine several pieces I had been working on into one installation at the New Orleans Contemporary Art Center. For three months I shredded all correspondence I received, and stored it in various-sized plastic bags. This was hung, pod-like, from the ceiling. The floor was covered with twenty monitors displaying close-up video of leaf-cutter ants I had taped in Costa Rica. The audio was a low-level hum of pigs feeding, speeded up to an ant-like pitch. On facing walls were two telephone handsets playing underground music downloaded from the Internet. On one wall were portraits of five men wearing swimming goggles. Dominating them was a larger portrait of a heavily made-up woman wearing a headset. I wanted indirect references to relationships between human and ant behavior without any literal conclusions.
