Artists Space

The conversation draws on their email correspondence held over the preceding months, where communication is both form and subject. This dialogue considers the ways in which the Internet sequences private experiences, and the typologies that occur when desire is conflated with technology. Prodger and Leaver-Yap address such sequencing in relation to early technologies (hand axes, bifaces, time-keeping devices) and our contemporary apparatus (forums, Internet browsers, online archives).

With Shannon Michael Cane, Curator of Printed Matter's Art Book Fairs and Fundraising Editions.
