Andrew Norman Wilson probes the unseen networks of labor, technology, and media, exposing the hidden infrastructures and inequalities that shape contemporary corporate systems. His works—ranging from videos, sculptures, and drawings to performance lectures and photography—critique the aesthetics and myths of technology, highlighting the effects of globalization in labor, capital, and information realms.
