Jennifer Chan

Chan’s work in the exhibition is a video titled "A Total Jizzfest". Resembling a PowerPoint ranking of the richest, sexiest men in IT the piece contemplates the absence of women in the history of the internet.

The artist emphasises the genealogical similarities of these titans of technology: white men from the West, among them the scientist Alan Turing, Julian Assange (Wikileaks), Steve Jobs (Apple), Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook), Christopher Poole (4chan) and Jakob Lodwick (vimeo). Attempting to answer the question of how desire relates to power, Chan combines feminist criticism with a reflection on the subject of sensual pleasure derived from imagery consumption.
