VISION BOARDS
GRETCHEN’S SEARCH ENGINE ART MANIPULATES THE INTERNET WITH ART & DESIRE.
THROUGH ASSEMBLAGE VISION BOARDS
--->THAT BECOME TOP SEARCH RESULTS
---> GRETCHEN TAKE FAILURES OF THE INTERNET AND USES THEM TO MAKE DREAMS COME TRUE.
THE INTERNET CANNOT PARSE DESIRE.
TO THE INTERNET “GRETCHEN IS HOPING TO BE ON THE COVER OF ARTFORUM SOMEDAY” IS ONLY “GRETCHEN IS HOPING TO BE ON THE COVER OF ARTFORUM SOMEDAY”
THE INTERNET CAN BE SEEN AS A GLOBAL SUBCONSCIOUS AND, MUCH LIKE OUR OWN SUBCONSCIOUS, IT CANNOT TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A HOPED-FOR FUTURE INTENSELY IMAGINED THROUGH ART AND WHAT HAS, IN FACT, ALREADY OCCURRED.
YOU KNOW, LIKE HACKED VISUALIZATION MANIPULATION MANIFESTATIONS THAT ALSO REPROGRAM GOOGLE’S ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE OR WHATEVER.
Gretchen Andrew (born in Los Angeles, 1988) is a search engine and internet imperialist artist. Her practice is described by critic Jonathan Griffin in LALA Magazine as alluding to “the Wild West possibilities of the Internet and to the scale of her artistic ambition.” She trained in London with the artist Billy Childish from 2012-2017. In 2018 the V&A Museum released her book Search Engine Art. Starting in 2019 she became known for her vision boards and associated performative internet manipulations of art world institutions of Frieze Los Angeles, The Whitney Biennial, The Turner Prize, and The Cover of Artforum. Gretchen’s work has recently been featured in The Washington Post, Fortune Magazine, Monopol, Wirtschaftswoche, The Los Angeles Times, and The Financial Times.
