Wires examines the subversive means by which email solicitors use narrative to
undermine spam filters. Because of the way in which the filters analyze sentence
structures, a narrative excerpt can be randomly added to a commercial email, which
will in turn automatically be regarded by the filter as a non-soliciting message and
be allowed to pass through.  Wires’s photographs of cable lines from Europe, the
Middle East, and the United States act as a metaphor for our communications-saturated
landscape. The diverse emails superimposed over the photographs interupt the
landscapes to form a totally nonsensical narrative threading throughout the work.

Images were taken in and around the following locations:

Amman, Jordan
Berlin, Germany
Bloomington, Indiana
Chicago, Illinois
Columbus, Ohio
Damascas, Syria
Huntington, West Virginia
Rostock, Germany
San Francisco, California
