Boxed Behavior

Year: 2021

Media: Quilt

Dimensions: 72" x 58"

This quilt uses boxes to represent technological designs that measure and predict human behavior. Multitudes of boxes accumulate, containing our lives.  

I often think about the human impulse to predict, and how categorization creates its own structures. Nowadays, it is hard to differentiate what we choose and what chooses us. Is there a box capable of capturing our self-determination, or is that our only weapon against a surveillance state?
