Noah Loesberg presents Infrastructure, a suite of familiar and recognizable yet overlooked objects from domestic and urban environments. From an enlarged plaster copy of a storm drain to stacks of sewer pipe fabricated with cardboard to a giant smoke detector he weaves a narrative and allegory of the banal and sublime and impending disaster, catastrophe, and entropy. http://noahloesberg.net/
In Believer, Kelli Miller presents a range of work from renderings of computer and electronic equipment circuit boards, to a ten-minute video parody of self-help infomercials. Her work mocks the false promise of technology and utopian ideals and subverts the logic and rhetoric of motivational philosophies and undermines the relentless positivity of advertising media. http://www.goodgrrrldesign.com/
