SUPER HAPPY LUCKY ITCH
Sherri Hay and Camilla Singh
an installation about sex + technology



September 16 - October 21, 2006

WARC proudly opens our fall exhibition season with artists Sherry Hay and Camilla Singh's installation, SUPER HAPPY LUCKY ITCH, examining the relationship between sex + technology as locations of communication.

Sex and technology can be viewed as polar opposites or as sharing various degrees of property. SUPER HAPPY LUCKY ITCH explores the evolving views of relationships that exist between sex as an intimate form of human communication, organic in nature; and technology as it facilitates communication but alienates by reducing physical contact or presence. Both are instruments of human connection and interaction: tools of communication. And communication, we would argue, is what makes life meaningful. Technology multiplies things on a grand scale - with the same procreative function as sex. Procreation in a virus-like way can ultimately lead to destruction.
