Tony Oursler was born in New York in 1957 and he completed his BA in fine arts at the California Institute for the Arts in 1979. He currently lives and works in New York City. Tony Oursler’s work is comprised of video, sculpture, installation, performance and painting.
One of Ourlser’s works is “Valley.” This installation is virtual and presents the Internet as a flowchart. The flowchart has a guide who appears unexpectedly and comments on the meanings and possibilities of the Internet. In this installation the Internet mirrors human consciousness. The more the machine comes closer to copying human form, the more disturbing the machine becomes to humans. I really like this installation because it correctly depicts human’s relation to technology. The Internet does in a way mirror the communication between humans in the real world.
