Disclaimer: Satterwhite doesn’t include much information about this project on his website. I attended a lecture he gave at Bard college, and this is from memory.

“Model It” is a performance in which Satterwhite dances in front of various storefronts to songs that his mother wrote. His performance is extraverted and swanky – a puzzling counterpoint to his mother’s incoherent, rambling music. It is an intensely personal work, emblematic of an ongoing creative dialogue between Satterwhite and his mother.

“Time/bank” is a currency created by the founders of the e-flux journal, Julieta Aranda and Anton Vidokle. Drawing influence from existing time banks, “Time/bank” proposes time as a unit of economic exchange, by way of “Hour Notes” (one is shown above). Interestingly, 2009 also saw the introduction of the Bitcoin, the open source cryptocurrency. Since Time/bank relies on fixed measures of time, it is both straightforward and stable, in opposition to today’s opaque and volatile cryptocurrencies.

“Occupy the Cloud” takes the form of three banners in front of a brutalist office building in central London. On each banner is a symbol, from left to right: the lightning bolt of the international squatters’ movement, the @ symbol (acquired by MoMA in 2010)  and the Cloud symbol. The banal corporate aesthetic of the banners belies the polemical tone of the three symbols read sequentially. Taken together, they suggest that the Cloud is a prime site for political intervention. The installation is timely and ominous in the wake of the 2013 NSA revelations.
