Presented at Juxtapoze Art Fair by Sholeh Asgary + Heather Kapplow, 3123 Telegraph Yes is part of an ongoing effort, through play, to remind ourselves that interfaces are not neutral, and that we don’t have to accept how they frame us. As we consider meeting in person again after many, many months of Zooming, 3123 Telegraph Yes offers activities in physical form that resemble early Zoom prototypes to encourage a further blurring of boundaries.
Asgary (USA) and Kapplow (USA) began working together in Aarhus in 2019, and have spent 2020-21 collaborating on a series of audience-participatory Zoom explorations that questions this piece of corporate technology that has been colonizing our homes, schools, places of worship and other gatherings since the Coronavirus began. Their work focuses on disambiguating image from experience, and opening up more space for the unresolved.
