About The Artwork

'I'm just here for the comments' is a limited edition print from one of the steel plates from the installation 'Immanence of the Screen'. This image a repurposed several times removed meme entitled 'I'm just here for the comments'. The edition of 20 (plus artist proof) is signed, dated and stamped by the artist, current print is 2 of 20. Alexander Small's installation 'Immanence of the Screen' arrests the poor image in the form of screen shot frames from web cams, military footage, abandoned video footage on video sharing sites and memes. This is the 'wretched of the screen, debris of audiovisual production' set adrift on the digital ocean of free floating signifiers 'the trash that washes up on the digital economies' shores. Dislocated frames of video and obscure memes once the distractions of contemplation are etched in steel and bolted down to a horizontal and vertical frame, caught in a structure re-contemplated and re-presented. The intangible digital codes are acid etched into steel plates making them solid and still, the 'poor image ... a copy in motion' becomes immobile and is given material form.
