The Mattress Factory's Predrive: After Technology takes a slap at digital culture.
Pittsburgh City Paper: "The Mattress Factory exhibit Predrive: After Technology uses digital means to flout digital technology's seeming omnipotence. Instead of celebrating virtual culture's determined advance toward transcendence of the physical, the five artists chosen by curator and Carnegie Mellon art professor Melissa Ragona concentrate on revealing technology's shortcomings, absurdities and awkward origins. Nowhere in the exhibition is a visitor able to lose herself in the display. Yet rather than demonstrating technical inadequacy, this is proof of conceptual triumph."
