David Dale Gallery are delighted to host a performative reading of I'm that angel, by New York based artist Tyler Coburn. I’m that angel is a cycle of writings and performances that explore the conditions of how we work on and against the computer, narrated from the perspective of a “content farmer”: an emergent type of online journalist contracted to generate articles based on words peaking in Google Trends. This performance will be held at iomart data centre, the physical location of the servers used for hosting and cloud computing - in short, the internet. Coburn has previously held performances at the Google Building in New York (2013) and at Digital Realty in Los Angeles (2012), this will be the first in the UK.
In May and June, Coburn is performing at data centres and institutions throughout Europe, including Objectif Exhibitions, Antwerp; CAC Vilnius; Grazer Kunstverein; the Pionen Data Center, Stockholm; EvoSwitch, Amsterdam, in collaboration with San Serriffe; e-shelter, Berlin, in collaboration with Archive Kabinett; Volta, London, in collaboration with South London Gallery; and Museo d’Arte Contemporanea di Villa Croce, in collaboration with Peep-Hole. Copies of I'm that angel are available at bookshops and institutions worldwide.
