Lorena Turner: Made in China



For this project, items made and packaged in China were purchased in US department stores and bodegas. They remained in their original packaging until they were dusted for fingerprints and then photographed under black lights. This process allowed for the evidence of another's touch, quite possibly the person involved in constructing and packaging the item, to be revealed.
Made in China highlights the human factor and invisible history in each object's production, and forces us to reconsider the relationship those who are leaving their fingerprints on each item may have with it.

Photography: Riots, fire, destruction

some are stealing, soma are parting, some are kissing, some are twittering about, some are gaping, some are destroying: riots

is the outcome swarm intelligent art?

or is it downsizing entropy?

the crowedsourced way of doing art? the enfant terrible of the so boring smartmob, just with higher intelligence?

anyway, we get some nice photographs
