Simone Paterson “Machine Memory + Motherboards”

A.I.R. Gallery

This event has ended.

Machine Memory + Motherboards is an exhibition of embroideries and animation pieces by A.I.R. National Artist Member Dr. Simone Paterson. This is Paterson’s first solo exhibition in New York City.

The traditionally defined feminine skill of needlework is injected with the impossible precision of the computer and the speed of the machine. The embroideries and animations of stitching in Machine Memory + Motherboards document the historic development of computer chips, circuits, and motherboards. The inherent conversation within this new body of work aims to question whose memories and data are privileged and preserved, and whose labor is acknowledged or made redundant in our transition to the age of artificial intelligence.
