Simon Denny

Multimedia Aquarium 4: Stupor

A large-scale inkjet photographic print on canvas is affixed with industrial bolts and aluminium tubing, merging the aesthetics of corporate display with raw structural hardware. Denny layers imagery and material to evoke a sense of information overload and paralysis, conjuring the numbing effect of contemporary media and technology culture. The aquarium-like framing suggests a contained, almost voyeuristic spectacle of digital and corporate life rendered inert.
