Opening Reception: May 29th 6 pm - 9 pm

FRISSON’s inaugural exhibition, NANNYCAM, presents the work of five artists as a meditation on agency within self and structural surveillance.  Today, it is passé to speak of the digital panopticon under which our reality unfolds. The contemporary neurosis that our every moment, movement, and expressed thought is tracked, recorded, and analyzed has become the status quo. Our data profiles us, feeding the algorithm with the fuel necessary to cater precise content and reinforce limited worldviews. We are trapped within an epistemological enclosure, with continuously upheld boundaries and a shrinking diameter. The informational quicksand is but a manifestation of the complete temporal ossification that plagues the contemporary moment. There is an overarching sense that nothing new is possible, that no alternative beyond those that have already been tried. How can we develop techniques to resist and overcome the limitations of our relationship with technology?

SRGE_Lindsay utilizes her own body as an act of cybernetic self manipulation, allowing her to resist compartmentalization and surveillance of being which dominates the digital age. Her work is the manifestation of a cyborg whose existence is captured through biological processes.

Katie Chin maintains a particular interest in individual agency and communication within complex social systems. Her ceramic works emphasize ideas of degradation, resistance, and collective consciousness.

Silvia Muleo’s paintings and video work are informed by the paradoxical flatness of the screen which permeates our visual landscape. She examines these hollow windows into the digital space by emphasizing their shattered perspective and the light they cast onto the world.

Jin Mateo Kim examines how our relationships with machines shapes our perception of ourselves, our desires and fears. Her work often contains elements of unfulfilled expectations, remaining in a state of anticipation rather than action.

Jared Friedman turns his eye to the mundane: mass-produced packaging. Through scale and attention, these disposable forms become objects of meditation, mirroring their lasting qualities in our ecological landscapes.
