Cache Machine

Cache Machine is a multimedia installation and an ongoing interface for investigating the onslaught of transient digital material amassing in contemporary life. A machine running a local image generation model produces a new image every three to four seconds. The images accumulate in a shared cache, are projected onto the rear windows of two suspended Ford Escape hatchbacks, and are eventually purged. Five overlapping sound sources render the latent forces of “thinking” machines visceral and somatic. Visitors may claim an image through a mobile website, downloading it while permanently deleting it from the system. What isn’t claimed is forgotten.
