Momentum: An Experience in the Unexpected (2014-2015)

Tony Oursler’s subversive objects often explore the pitfalls of human relationships, the psychological effects of technology, and our feelings of alienation from society. He capitalizes on our desire to be entertained by the images we consume, even as they consume us.

In this work, the projected video image whispering unintelligible phrases accented by elongated “sss” sounds establishes an intriguing connection between title and serpentine form. Despite its bizarre appearance and disturbing utterances, Slip (2003) retains enough connection to the natural world to suggest a living—albeit alien—creature.
