CTRL + SHFT and independent curator Tanya Gayer are pleased to present Third Party, opening on November 6, 2016 from 6 - 9pm. The exhibition explores the female perspective of algorithms and the physical embodiment of data tracking. The artists in the show question how identity is formed and misinformed through Google adwords, social media geolocation tags, cell phone tapping, and seemingly autonomous algorithmic calculations. As social and cultural properties are established within such technological forms, Third Party evaluates the manners in which we formulate a sense of self in the digital age when so much of it is monitored and calculated for us. Third Party features works by Lark Buckingham, Joanna Cheung, Zoe McCloskey, Rhonda Holberton, Erica Scourti, and Angela Washko. Curated by Tanya Gayer.
