MORE about this artworkBeautification Machine is both an object and an experience, infused with mysticism and opacity. In the words of the artists, Beautification Machine is a device used to “neutralize the bile and fear spewed forth daily over the networks and transform polarizing media sources into vehicles of contemplation and peace.” The piece combines functions of sculpture, projection, audio processing and random chance to manipulate real-time video feeds from FOX, MSNBC (or any news source), and then strip them of all rhetoric and partisanship. Beautification Machine’s essence is antithetical— an oasis of calm created from the very thing that makes it difficult to find serenity in the modern world.
