Device, 2012

“A device is anything that has the ability to somehow capture, guide, determine, intercept, model, control, and ensure the gestures, behaviors, opinions, and discourses of living beings." Giorgio Agamben, 2006. In this installation 32 pens are attached to the wall and the public is invited to use the pens as they wish. This work questions the pen’s role as a device used to sign one’s own identity.
