BOTS
(Battle of the Sexes)
Processed
image and sound,
2007
She looks at him. He looks at her. They both speak
their mind in an attempt to communicate their wants,
desires and needs. Try as they might, constructive
communication rarely happens between the two forces
of nature. Instead the endlessly selfish chatter
perpetuates disconnectedness. Within their minds,
men and women believe they are able to stay objective
and maintain a clear channel of communication. In
truth however, nothing is actually said at all.
No communication ever takes place - only the dark
roar of nothingness echoes between.
Reminiscent of early experience in artificial intelligence,
BOTS simulates
an electronic link in which two entities interact
based on the information expressed. In reality, BOTS work
independently by projecting themselves on one another
without input from the other. Although each sex seems
to be influenced by the other, BOTS only
speak of their own desires exposing an extremely
grotesque lack of compassion. With one simple word
the message is clear - it's all about "ME."
