Network Spirituality
A collaboration between Rachel Jackson and Brandon Bandy
With discussions of a loosely defined “network spirituality” making the rounds amongst the terminally online, we appropriated the term as a way of thinking through algorithmic domination (pseudo-reality), the “content mirage,” as well as the rampant use of religious signifiers within this online milieu. Works in the exhibition consist of seeming unrelated source material combined to generate a tertiary object, synthesizing yet another layer of cultural forms referential to an undying past.
