BLACK PLANET / BLACK MARKET
REFERENCE - 2008-ongoing

TRACKING : BLACK SHINY "2.0" PRODUCTS as REMNANTS OF THE FETISHIZED LATE 90'S/EARLY 00'S WEB/COMMERCE/BUSINESS CULTURE BUBBLE, A LAYER OF DETRIMENT THAT IS STILL ENVELOPING MANY PARTS OF THE MARKET AND THE GLOBE EITHER ON THE SURFACE OR A FEW LAYERS BELOW.
BLACK PLANET is a critical commentary on "similarity hauls," fetishized equipment, objectivity, objectification (reification) and the act of "coating" or "wrapping" as a finish that provides an interface for control.
