510(W)x413(H)x230cm Fiberglass, Electron rubbish, Sound and LED

This artwork 'Purge' is a multi-media work and it is made of fiberglass, electron rubbish, sound and LED. The focal point of this artwork is on the hidden ecologic and social crisis behind the present industrial civilization, thus it explains the lifestyle of electronic modern age by comparing the "discarded" to the "excreted". I believe that this electrical waste is not only the entity of waste itself but contains as well, the message junk relays through its dissemination. All of the paragraphs on the LED display were downloaded from the Internet. There is not necessarily a link between sentences they are just incoherent trash language.
