The Arabic translation for the term Anonymous generated by Google Translator can be seen etched into a black mirror. The mirror is mounted on an Apple monitor stand. The surface refers to both the ISIS flag and the screen of a switched off computer. Non-image iconoclasm is common to both symbols: concealment of the face in Anonymous and the non-representation of Islamic extremism.
The piece aims to reflect certain strategies of resistance and non-hierarchical structures that arise from the use of technology and also on the tensions and contradictions that are derived from wars waged in cyberspace.
