Karen Archey Introduction
"This generation is characterized by a renewed confidence in the fundamental possibilities of art…To this generation, the notion that the author has lost its relevance feels like a conclusion of a previous generation, not ours. There is a real and honest engagement with materiality, abstraction, signification, monumentality, expressionism, formalism and art history, all from a generation of artists who are no longer convinced by the priority given to relational aesthetics, documentary practices, and art as knowledge production. We prefer to free art of the demand to proclaim its legitimacy beforehand.

He is exhibiting solar panels that are for companies to appear green when actually they use more energy to build than they will ever produce them selves. I was told once that the new thames barrier being built would take 10 years to build but but due to global warning London will flood by 7
He then shows the image of a Solar powered tanning salon in LA

He consider his new work "a collection of you tube fight videos" much like a gladiatorial theatre and makes us look at the tools surrounding them such as "like" and "Unlike".
