Text Messages is a program presented on the Mandeville Art Gallery’s exterior screen, comprised of works by digital artists displaying text manipulated and hijacked using programming and code. The words, phrases, and typography presented on view reveal the influence of machines on the production of meaning and the exercise of power within the context of social media, advertising, online censorship, and artificial intelligence.

Text Messages is on view daily from 7 am to 10 pm, July 1st through September 27th. All the works have been commissioned or specifically adapted for the exhibition.

Participating Artists:

Maya Man, Winnie Soon, Sasha Stiles
