PINK GOO

Video installation

Pink Goo asks whether we still exist as humans under capitalism. Can we still be our ‘selves’ when we are not in possession of ourselves? Trapped in inescapable patterns of financialization and commodification, competition and acceleration, fractalization and precaritization, is it still possible to distinguish between behavior and agency, between executing an algorithm and being a person? More than an economic system, how has capital become a societal order, a state of mind, a way of thinking and being in the world? How does capital both have and inform the (un)conscious? 

Drawing on feminist practices of consciousness-raising, Pink Goo aims to surface the self-awareness we have about our own oppression in order to promote a political reinterpretation of our own life under capitalism and establish the bases for its transformation. It claims that only through visceral politics – leveraging feelings of discomfort and disgust, confusion and creep – can we resist and bring into being new economic subjectivities.
