Individual Efforts A was a video installation that sought to introduce and problematize the Cybersyn case as a key historical precedent for examining the science-technology-politics complex from a media arts perspective. Part of a two-piece series, it was presented in the group show I am Here Now mounted at UCLA New Wight Gallery in Los Angeles between October 14th and 20th, 2010.
Inside the wooden box, a monitor showed a short video summarizing the history and context of Project Cybersyn as it was developed in Chile in the early 1970s. The installation allowed only one viewer at a time, who, while watching the video, could feel a gentle breeze coming from the box as they looked through the triangular hole (see Individual Efforts B to know more about the whole series).
