The Bots (Italian market) now streaming on DIS
Tuesday, March 30th, 2021
Somewhere — maybe, let’s say, in Berlin — people sit behind screens in drab office buildings and get shown everything from pictures of topless Jesus to snuff videos and decide what stays, what goes, and what gets “escalated.” Day in and out, content moderators are forced to skim the worst social media has to offer […]
The Bots (Arab market) now streaming on DIS
Saturday, March 20th, 2021
Jake Levy’s signature foundation-free look doesn’t hide the unpleasant truths of what’s going on behind social media corporations’ own conspiratorial and neocolonialist surfaces, but it can cover up the lifelong scars remaining from viewing violent content. The Bots recounts interviews we conducted with the workers social media keeps hidden. To tell their stories we’ve […]

In navigating real space and contending with pre-existing […]
New lolcat sculpture
Monday, December 3rd, 2018
Made a new lolcat sculpture inspired by the “What Has Been Seen Cannot Be Unseen” meme. “What Has Been Seen” is a black taxidermy cat, sitting on a microwave containing an erased hard drive (’cause it’s been microwaved).
New work “Riccardo Uncut” commissioned by the Whitney Museum
Tuesday, May 8th, 2018
Our new piece “Riccardo Uncut”, commissioned by the Whitney Museum, is public!!! It’s the result of a call we posted on social media to buy someone’s phone and turn all photos and videos into an art project – an uncut and uncensored portrait of someone’s life. Thank you Christiane Paul!

Life Sharing is back
Monday, October 16th, 2017
For three years (2001-2003), we openly shared our home computer, making all its contents accessible to the public. Private material, including email, texts, photos, and bank statements, was freely available through our website. Made long before social media’s widespread influence, Life Sharing pointed towards the blurring of the public and private spheres. Originally commissioned by […]
