Artist Jennifer Lyn Morone’s response to how multinational corporations collect and trade the personal data of social network and internet browser users, as well as her reaction to unceasing social pressure for self-perfection, is extreme capitalism. Morone legally established herself as a corporation, thus protecting her own data and taking the entire system to the outer boundaries of its own absurdity.
Artist Jennifer Lyn Morone’s response to how multinational corporations collect and trade the personal data of social network and internet browser users, as well as her reaction to unceasing social pressure for self-perfection, is extreme capitalism. Morone legally established herself as a corporation, thus protecting her own data and taking the entire system to the outer boundaries of its own absurdity.
Within the context of her long-term project, Morone decided to combine her personal identity with a corporate identity and thus present herself as a source of data and skills and, no less importantly, as a source of biological material.
With reference to Donna Haraway – “Not to have property in the self is not to be a subject, and so not to have agency.” – Morone fulfils the principle of individualised Western civilisation in an extreme form, and urges other individuals to follow her example using specially developed applications, or to become involved as shareholders in Jennifer Lyn Morone, Inc.
Artist Talk: 4 October at 6 pm – Vitra Showroom (Křižíkova 148/34, Prague 8)
