The chroma-key blue cluster of linear elements that form Armature Fragment L (steel) represent just a sample of an ongoing body of speculative and physical works that draw on Timothy Morton’s notion of Hyperobjects. First coined in 2008 this term is a way of making sense of ecological objects with spatial and temporal dimensions; the totality of which extends far beyond the limits of human perception. Examples include global warming, the COVID-19 virus, the internet, all the styrofoam ever created and the stock market. Our perception of these things is intimate but only ever partial hence it is a concept that challenges traditional ideas of ‘thingness’.
