In the acclaimed outdoor work The Influence Machine (2000–2002), Tony Oursler blends fragments of speech from the history of technology with images of heads. Through the dark, a projected hand knocks on clouds of smoke, trees and surrounding buildings. Oursler uses the landscape as a stage for enlarged projections of text messages and email. With words, images and sounds, the artist creates a spectacular outdoor artwork.
On October 20th, 2016, The Influence Machine will be performed at Stockholm University’s Frescati campus.
