Also included in this body of work (The Witness-Machine Complex) is A Thousand White Plastic Chairs (2020). This video documents a live performance in the dark where the artist’s own voice is subjected to similar treatment of the flashing yellow and red lights—both disrupting and informing his speech and thought. Here, the artist draws correlations between human cognition and technological travelling of data through wires at 4600m/s, and their inherent asymmetry.
