PALACE OF MACHINERY
Palace of Machinery is a haunting multi-screen video and sound installation that reanimates archival films made inside Pittsburgh’s Westinghouse factories. Projected at the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair, they offered visions of progress and spectacles of orchestrated labor at an uncertain time. Sounding a disorienting echo of these turn-of-the-century dreams, the installation evokes the past in the present and questions our own modern “palaces.”
