Follow that Shit Series: Taylor Ervin Exhibition, “Our Blood Thirsty Machines”
“Our Blood Thirsty Machines” uses images and text to explore the relationships of production, consumption and exploitation in the consumer electronics industry. The West’s insatiable desire for technology has spawned a global economy of exploration that fuels our hyper connected lives. This project steps back to examine the implications of these exploitative relationships that our technology driven culture has created. A regular schedule of open hours for viewing this exhibit appears on the Mess Hall calendar and in the announcements listed below.
