Aria Dean on Abattoir, U.S.A.! | The Power Plant

Meet American artist and writer Aria Dean, as she shares more about her solo exhibition at The Power Plant, Abattoir, U.S.A.!.
Abattoir, U.S.A.! is Dean's newest short film that draws on the artist's long-term research on agricultural and industrial architecture, surveying the interior of an empty slaughterhouse. The slaughterhouse in Abattoir, U.S.A.!, is animated using Unreal Engine, a 3D computer graphics tool used to create real-time environments for a wide range of platforms. The film ruminates on the idea of modernism’s intimacy with death on conceptual, political, and material levels through the slaughterhouse’s presence as both an allegorical structure and a literal place where the boundary between human, animal, and machine is produced and reproduced.

I was really moved by this artwork at The Power Plant. I am currently working on a research paper on the immersive possibilities of AI generated artworks, and this interview helped a lot. Thanks!

'Artspeak' turns most people off. I think I'm alone now.
