CONNECTED by Kasey McMahon

he Kasey McMahon ‘Connected’ art project is definitely not something you see everyday. She has created every techno-geek’s fantasy: a colourful wired woman using steel, CAT5 . It’s a self portrait in the  form of a life-sized sculpture the artist made from computer data cables wrapped around steel. This digital dream girl looks amazing. It is a very fun, creative and original project. The Kasey McMahon ‘Connected’ instillation is definitely one reason to resist the whole wireless movement that is going on right now. Kasey McMahon is a conceptual and multimedia artist based in Los Angeles, California. Her work is driven by her own curiosity regarding our distinctly individual interactions with technology, the world and each other. She is fascinated by the elegant complexity that exists within and between the natural and technological realms: both intricate and untamed in their own ways. Influenced as much by hardware stores and the monsters underneath her bed as by haute couture and fine art, Kasey believes imagination is a superpower we all possess and encourages the occasional sidestepping of grownup life to recall a child’s eager fascination with the mundane. So, the digital wired girl looks really breathtaking. We think that the idea of the project is new, original and very beautiful. The Kasey McMahon ‘Connected’ instillation is definitely one reason to resist the whole wireless movement that is going on right now.
