Underwater Empty Vessel

A sculptural assemblage by Simon Denny, *Underwater Empty Vessel* combines industrial and domestic materials—aluminium, wood, and a repurposed CRT television casing—to interrogate the residual forms of obsolete technology. A digital print on Plexiglas introduces a layer of mediated imagery, creating tension between the physical weight of discarded hardware and the slick surfaces of contemporary image production. The work reflects Denny's broader interest in the cultural and material afterlives of information systems and the networks that once sustained them.
