Colin Martin paints disaffecting interiors, such as the ominously bland bureaucratic offices of the Stasi Museum in Berlin or the generic chromed shelving units stacked with vintage and obsolescent PCs in Computer Museum II. But alongside these scenes of memorials to the failed utopias and dystopias of the second half of the twentieth century, he depicts more up-to-the-minute locations of estrangement: the interior that houses the Panoptic Studio at Carnegie Mellon University, a geodesic dome outfitted with cameras for the 3-D motion capture of what its website describes as “a group of people engaged in a social interaction” (sounding like a somewhat sinister variant of Relational Aesthetics), and portraits of a child actor and a dog covered in motion-capture sensors, possibly for CGI. In this body of work, past blurs with present, the totalitarian state’s banal apparatus of control of with universities and corporations’ high-tech gizmos of simulation. Deadpan representations of the society of the spectacle’s infrastructure, Martin’s canvases envision a world meant not to empower people, but, as Richard Serra observed of television, to deliver them.
