Devin Alejandro-Wilder: untitled homepage-land experiment
December 10 - December 31,2021
From Welcome to My Homepage: "A multi-dimensional virtual/IRL playground in flux, my currently ‘untitled homepage-land experiment’ transforms and hybridizes physical and virtual spaces to present moving-image media and text which explores, confronts, and untangles developing ideas about interspecial/interspatial relationships. Connecting these two locations — one being the Welcome to my Homepage website and the other which exists physically in East Austin and is known colloquially as Red Bluff/La Loma — through a variety of media interventions such as QR codes, field recordings, and site-specific video performance, this anti-anthropocene work-in-progress calls us to decenter our human experiences by both recognizing and questioning our ongoing, daily, and often extraordinary non-human collaborations (ie. land-human, plant-human, internet-human) as well as the visible and non-visible ecosystems we inevitably leave our traces upon. Devin Alejandro-Wilder (they/them) is a latinx visual artist who moves across new media, performance, and lens-based practices to haunt, inquire, investigate, and confront the beliefs and systems we exist entangled within. Deaf, queer, and non-binary their work explores themes orbiting around in/visibility, “performance”, collaboration, and the false binary between care/harm. As a studio member at the Museum of Human Achievement, they also are a participant in several artist-run projects: The Revolution School: Operation Scrooge and the League of Superheroes (Los Angeles), ISYSM (TX), and Unpaved Paradise Drive-In (TX) as well as founding the virtual/IRL collaborative free skool initiative, Free Skool Now (2021)."
