David Moy’s work emerges from his discomfort with the current age of burnout, image overload, and the resulting disorientation and fatigue within the mental health landscape. Through text and printed media, he interrogates the compounding nature of images, stacking and layering them until their totality becomes nothing—or everything. By appropriating images, videos, and phrases designed to capture attention, he reinterprets their methods of control. Utilizing contemporary digital printing processes, he subverts the very technologies of reproduction to serve his own purposes of negation, slippage, and disorientation. Through obfuscation and erasure, he creates documents that demand meditation and prolonged viewing—an extended form of attention. In doing so, he reintroduces what the internet...
David Moy’s work emerges from his discomfort with the current age of burnout, image overload, and the resulting disorientation and fatigue within the mental health landscape. Through text and printed media, he interrogates the compounding nature of images, stacking and layering them until their totality becomes nothing—or everything. By appropriating images, videos, and phrases designed to capture attention, he reinterprets their methods of control. Utilizing contemporary digital printing processes, he subverts the very technologies of reproduction to serve his own purposes of negation, slippage, and disorientation. Through obfuscation and erasure, he creates documents that demand meditation and prolonged viewing—an extended form of attention. In doing so, he reintroduces what the internet has eroded: “the present moment.” In an era dominated by media, the attention economy, alternative facts, and increasing individualization, Moy examines the mechanisms of submission shaped by echo chambers and the homogeneous routines imposed by companies exploiting user attention for profit. His work further explores how these consequences seep into offline consciousness, shaping perceptions and beliefs. He continually negotiates what it means to believe in the present, particularly when facts become obscured by simultaneous truths. Grappling with how to move forward, he considers the lingering weight of past afterimages in contrast to the anxieties of an uncertain future. David Moy (b. 1995, lives and works in New York, NY, US) studied at Tyler School of Art, Philadelphia, PA, US and Hunter College, New York, NY, US. Moy has had recent exhibitions at Tyler School of Art, Philadelphia, PA, US; Hyacinth Gallery, New York, NY, US; RAIN RAIN, New York, NY, US; ! Wild Card !, New York, NY, US and Galerie Tracanelli, Saint-Martin-d’Hérès, FR. In 2018, he received the Renaissance Graphics Award at Tyler School of Art.Monday | Closed |
