‘Fragments’ by Random International (2016) from Random International on Vimeo.
For the first time on the West Coast, following its premier earlier this year as part of its Random International: On The Body exhibition, Pace Gallery, Palo Alto will present the London-based collective’s latest installation, Fragments. The works features almost 200 identical, small mirrors which, despite their flat and static appearance, collectively turn to face an approaching onlooker. Following the viewer as he or she moves, the mirrors’ surface plane distorts into varying, three-dimensional forms — a wave, or a curve, or a circle — causing the artwork to disperse of divided reflection. Questioning how machines see humankind, Fragments marks a development with Random International’s ongoing exploration of identity and autonomy in the post-digital age.
