| The installations explore two central technologies of our late industrial society, the airplane and the control panel, rehearsing our dependence on complex technologies and the vulnerability they engender. “Skin” is an aluminum cylinder, the fuselage of a 737 that emerges from the gallery floor, stopped in the act of flying. Viewers hear the sound of the plane and feel its vibrations. “Control” is composed of panels, roughly modeled on those used in Chernobyl, that wend their way through the gallery. Visitors puzzle at the array of buttons, dials, and indicators of this complex technological system, all the while wondering what they control. |
