AM

(2025) Sculpture [polyurethane face cast on e-waste motherboard]
Dimensions: [To be added]

AM is a sculptural work combining a cast of a human face with discarded electronic components, to form a material response to the character of AM, the malevolent supercomputer from Harlan Ellison’s  short story"I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream". The piece physically embodies the convergence of human vulnerability and technological dominance, reflecting a world in which consciousness and circuitry are entangled.

This work marks a shift into more tactile, material explorations of the digital.  Influenced by both early cyber art and dystopian fiction,
AM explores themes of control, disembodiment, and the repurposing of technological debris. It was an experiment in form as much as concept: casting my face in polyurethane and embedding it into technological waste felt like an act of forced fusion, mirroring the psychological horror at the heart of Ellison’s story but also demonstrates the enmeshment of ones sense of self to the happenings on the internet.
