Technology Autonomous
Jenny Brady
Artist's biography
Synopsis
'Shot in the Dublin Institute of Technology’s optics research laboratory, the video work Technology Autonomous documents the construction of a holographic image, while a voice off screen recites extracts from Dennis Gabor’s 1972 book “The Mature Society: a Vision of the Future”. In the text, Gabor, the inventor of holography, describes his vision of future technology from a societal perspective. The work considers notions of illusion in relation to filmic construction, financial speculation and sustainability. The electronic score by Andrew Fogarty, was produced from a collection of sound recordings of various machines and synthesizers.'
