Alex May
Introduction
Alex May makes work about how we remember and how technology changes what we keep, what we lose, and what we think is real.
Across moving image, photography, sculpture, and computational processes, he explores the parallels between human experience and technological systems of recording, storage, and preservation.
His work reflects on the fragility of these systems and on the growing gap between rapid technological change and the slower ways people make meaning.
