Don't Forget to Breathe
DON’T FORGET TO BREATHE, A NEW INSTALLATION BY DOUG AITKEN, MEDITATES ON THE RAPID CHANGING FACE OF TECHNOLOGY FRAMED WITHIN A RELIC OF OUR MODERN PAST. THE ATMOSPHERE OF THE DESOLATE STOREFRONT PRESENTS A POSSIBILITY THAT A CHAPTER OF CAPITALISM HAS COMPLETED ITS LIFE CYCLE AND WE ARE ENTERING THE NEXT ERA WHERE THE SCREEN WORLD MIRRORS THE PHYSICAL ONE. THIS NEW ERA IS INCREASINGLY DE-MATERIAL, WHERE HUMAN CONNECTION IS EVAPORATING AND QUICKLY BEING REPLACED BY DIGITAL LIFE.
