Memory Foam Never Forgets

Overview

They said this. They did that. They think something is cool. They're outraged about another topic. In today's internet age, with everyone always online and broadcasting their every move via social media, we live in a time of "they". But who are these anonymous figures constantly lurking in our digital lives, and what role do they play in contemporary visual culture?

No, that's not a question only Fox Mulder would ask. Charlie Donaldson and Spencer Harvie's mutual fascination with all things conspiratorial may play a big part in Memory Foam Never Forgets; however here, their obsession with the faceless "they" isn't a sign of paranoia or a subject for the X-Files.

Sharing an interest in imagined characters and narratives, insane inventions and popular culture phenomena — and sourcing hundreds of different images from the internet — they're simply trying to get to the heart of our ever-connected modern-day reality, as well as the many things that come with it. Their exhibition is an attempt to make sense of the world, as audiences can discover throughout the installation's March 30 to April 16 run, or hear directly from the duo themselves at an artists' talk on April 6.
