algorithmic nostalgia [fetishized] marks the beginning of the I think in domination body of work, emerging from the development of the session dilemma [multipolarized] for the Red Salon at the Bayerischer Hof.
The work brings together fragments of digital infrastructure, neoclassical furniture, and Wertschöpfungspapier made from devalued euro banknotes held in tension by BDSM hardware. Rather than opposing one another, they appear as contemporary actualizations of the same logic of domination—centralization, exclusivity, and concentrated power, restaged rather than overcome.
Domination emerges as the sculpture's primary currency, regardless of whether it adopts the aesthetics of the server room or the throne room.
