THE NEW NORMAL brings together thirteen recent artworks that use private information as raw material and subject matter. The concept of privacy, though widely invoked, is difficult to define. The private sphere encompasses domestic spaces, bodies, thoughts, communications, and behaviors—contexts that are usually rendered inaccessible to the public eye by legal, social, and physical boundaries. The practices that demarcate the private sphere are so much a part of the fabric of everyday life—wearing clothing, politely pretending not to overhear a cell-phone conversation— that they only become noticeable when they shift, making the private sphere visible to the public eye. Privacy, to put it bluntly, captures our attention only when it is under threat.
In the wake of 9/11, the specter of terrorism was used to justify increased collection and sharing of personal data by governments around the world. This time of heightened surveillance, characterized by luggage searches, Internet monitoring, and wiretaps, was dubbed “the new normal” by U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney.
The spread of social technology has affected privacy no less profoundly. With the rise of online commerce, many banks and retailers have developed sophisticated methods of tracking and studying the behavior of consumers, while increased use of the Internet has created new platforms for voluntary self-disclosure, from blogs to MySpace. Private information has never been less private, as evinced by Kota Ezawa’s Home Video II, made from “leaked” video files of Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee’s honeymoon,widely available on the Web. Each of the works in The New Normal—video, Web sites, sculpture, artist’s books, found objects, and photographs—grants access to the private sphere of the artists themselves, of strangers, and of public officials. Overall, the exhibition creates a sense that access to private information is a kind of currency, the exchange of which is growing and evolving in bewildering ways. We may find it frightening or fascinating, but we are all inescapably complicit in it.
The exhibition is accompanied by an illustrated catalogue co-published with Artists Space, New York, and Huarte Centro de Arte Contemporáneo, Huarte, Spain, with essays by guest curator Michael Connor, Clay Shirky and Marisa Olson.
No visit to Colony Lakes would be complete without at least one photo of one of the fountains. Here you go. Bright and sunny.

Using a digital animation program, Home Video II re-creates scenes from the Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee honeymoon tape, which was leaked on the Internet in November 1997 and released on video in 1998.
An afternoon like no other... It was so dark out that people had to use headlights and some street lights were even on. It's like a volcanic eruption was happening nearby. Never in my life living here have I ever witnessed such a weather scenario like this... Certainly, this year's wildfire season is a historic one... Pics taken from around San Jose, CA. (Wednesday late afternoon, September 9, 2020)
*Weather scenario: A historic outbreak of wildfires across NorCal left a massive layer of smoke draped over the SF Bay Area, turning skies Wednesday into an eerie dark orange haze & covering cars, yards & homes with layers of ash. Climate experts believe this is part of California’s ‘new normal.’ 2 million+ acres have burned so far in a series of wildfires with the Bear & Creek fires currently raging to the east of the Bay Area. Smoke from the blazes had covered Wednesday morning with a layer of darkness. While it may look like the world is coming to an end, the orange & dark skies maybe an ominous sign of what maybe in our future... The apocalyptic skies come after a record-breaking streak of Spare the Air alerts for the region, with Wednesday being a record 23rd consecutive day. People said it was like a solar eclipse, but longer, or the apocalypse, but less biblical. Some others called the darkness a metaphor for life in the days of global warming, of COVID-19, of social unrest, & of endless electioneering. Strange & foreboding it was & how long this would last was, like the sky, was unclear. For the 1st time ever, it felt like tomorrow’s sunrise no longer seemed a guarantee…
Orange, apocalyptic skies right over Silicon Valley. It was dark enough that street lights were on and people needed to use their car headlights. It's like as if a volcano was erupting nearby. Never in my life living here have I ever witnessed such a weather scenario like this... Certainly, this year's wildfire season is a historic one... This was up at Groesbeck Hill Park in San Jose, CA.

Wow, looks like the world was ending! It was so dark out that we had to use our car headlights and street lights were also on. It's like a volcanic eruption was occurring nearby.

Small morning walk around Tyseley, past the station and the Locomotive Works, but it started raining.
The new normal different - HSBC UK billboard - West Midlands Railway Birmingham Tyseley.
On the Warwick Road in Tyseley.
The new normal. Chocolate chill, first try. Even with some confusion with tablespoons and teaspoons, the accidentally modified recipe worked fine. Will do this again.
