“Network Maintenance is a series of networked wall-mounted interfaces that explore the relationship between ownership, care, and collective responsibility. Each piece consists of a minimalist custom construction housing a display and various analog controls. The works function as nodes in an interconnected system where each owner’s engagement directly influences the vitality of the entire network.
The interface requires regular interaction from its owner—pressing buttons in specific sequences or responding to shifting patterns. This transforms the traditional passive role of art ownership into active participation in a living system. Without proper care, individual pieces begin to show signs of decay, affecting both their own state and the broader network of works in the series.”
