This Call May Be Monitored

In her recent video works, the artist focuses on the peculiar interactions that take place between our human constructs and the “natural” world. Lisa DiLillo instigates situations where a variety of insects and birds interact with automatic voice recognition systems, clocks, diagrams and monetary transactions. These confrontations often result in erroneous interpretations and technological cul-de-sacs. In This Call May Be Monitored, the fleeting sense of triumph over a technology meant to convenience the corporation in stead of the individual quickly dissipates as the viewer recognises that the corporation itself is not affected by this encounter whatsoever.
