Mac Pierce
Mac Pierce critically engages with weaponized emerging technologies via coding, 3D printing, data automation, and cryptography. Pierce examines issues surrounding government power and its nemesis, the exposure of classified information. Pierce presents this capture and storage of strategically important information as a metaphor for a contemporary redefinition of sacred icons and objects.
