11. Midnight Moment in Times Square
Times Square Arts presents the latest edition of its monthly art installation, Midnight Moment. This new iteration features an ethereal collection of animations entitled Squanderlust. Created by artist Casey Kauffman, Squanderlust depicts candy-colored pixelated rainbows and floating unicorns set atop hyperreal natural scenes and fragmented ocean views.
While creating Squanderlust, Kauffman drew inspiration from her previous experience as a collector of cyber content and Internet histories. Kauffman specifically focuses on the manipulation of “poor images”—a special term coined by the artist to signify the state of digital content that has passed through infinite exchanges of online economies. In its design Squanderlust plays with the dynamic of popular exchange and the politics of anonymous global networks to reflect our society’s visual culture and the histories, interests, desires, and anxieties we all share.
