Vigilance I Installation

Sheila’s work is considered very forward thinking, although technology helps her create and expand in techniques; it can be very invasive in our lives today. We invite technology to be intrusive; we create the need for it. Our lives are full of mail notifications, posting our lives on social media and using our computers hours on end for everything in our lives. Even though we are connected to the world, one can also become isolated and this is yet another way that it is interfering today’s world. Our lives are full of mail notifications, posting our lives on social media and using our computers hours on end for everything in our lives. Despite this, Technology has played a big role in Sheila’s art; last year she was invited to be in a show in Lake Como, Italy where she was the only woman and the only American. The show was about technology and the relationship that we have with it. The show’s title was called “Interference” and it was put together by Swiss curator Roberta Gonella. The show was held in an old desecrated church turned art gallery Ex Chiesa San Pietro in Atrio. 10,000 people come to see the show and it got covered by 40 newspapers in Europe.
