Muzi Li Rowe’s (M.F.A., ‘17) debut solo show “Morbidly Optimistic” looks at the intersection of technology, personal history, pseudo science and consumerism. Rowe collects obsolete devices such as used cell phones and digital cameras. Covered in dust, hair and grime, these things were once pristine cold machines until time made its personal mark. They are memento mori of a digital age.

“Morbidly Optimistic” is on view until May 29, 2022 at Axis Gallery.
