Brand strategies

About

This series of works uses cement, cardboard and hard cash. There will be smashed glass and an AI wasp in surround sound. It falls on Valentines day, at a time when it feels the world has forsaken love. I wonder how we can accept the success of hate and wealth and acknowledge this new post-love era? One in which we are all our own personal brands in a giant marketplace, competing to survive. Maybe I can let go of my hopes and dreams of silly leftwing utopias, and trust in the new human digital economy - grow my personal brand, be the next sugar mountain!
