Sorry to dump on you like this.zip was orginally commissioned by Rhizome and merges my digital porn archive with personal emails and texts. Each jpeg was renamed with a line of correspondence, creating an uncanny autobiography of love, betrayal, and banality. The epic textual work is literally built on constructions of masculinity and sexuality, but ultimately, it maps the subjectivity of me. Sorry was collected by the Museum of Modern Art, Whitney Museum of American Art, Walker Art Center, and ETH Zürich. At an artist talk for Sorry at MoMA PS1, I confessed my archive was starting to feel like a prison. Many versions and a decade later, I staged it as such: an interactive panopticon hosted on New Art City and presented by Onassis ONX for The Wrong Biennale — flirtatious, suffocating, and impossible to escape.
