commissioned for the Whitney Museum of Art, Artport

The title of The Line references the artist’s traditional drawing method, yet the project is a simulation that unfolds in real time. The Line shifts traditional questions about the limitations of rendering human likeness into the digital realm—with faces, figures, and clothing reflecting the software’s inherent bias. eteam explores the idea of the line as a promise of a passage, an exit or entrance, a permission, right, or reward. Refugees, consumers, commuters, visa-seekers, the hungry and the privileged all line up with their own specific motivations. The Line invites us to ask, and imagine, what we ourselves are waiting for through this simulated experience.
