Now he's out in public and everyone can see
18 channel video installation (2012) (16 min loop)

Now he's out in public and everyone can see is an 18-channel video installation that weaves together mutiple stories in which vloggers recount a series of media scandals involving African American men. The stories, originally circulated and enflamed by corporate media gone viral, intersect and overlap across space and time. Links and tropes among hundreds of isolated and scatter-shot online voices and individual rants -- all from found online video diaries -- emerge and scatter apart over the space of the gallery. This fractured narrative mirrors the fragmentation of contested identities over networks and the composite racialized subject under scrutiny. Viewers become protagonists, continuously producing new montages between screens, as they attempt to piece together a layered narrative beyond the full scope of their gaze.
