The saturation of information and the excessive, unconscious production of objects that currently overwhelms us are the substrates that artist Falon Cañón uses to create and produce her work.
The saturation of information and the excessive, unconscious production of objects that currently overwhelms us are the substrates that artist Falon Cañón uses to create and produce her work.
In an exercise responding to consumerism and waste—not only of objects but also of information—she has turned what she rejects and despises into an experimental laboratory for artistic creation.
The design and creation of low-budget machines meant to emit sound, light or movement allow those who encounter the works to interact with them and enjoy an aesthetic experience that goes beyond mere contemplation.
Falon's works—discarded circuits, motors and parts of what is thrown away—make us ask ourselves, once again, about the aesthetic value of the work of art and its decorative character, since it not only displaces that category but also pushes back against it, attempting to reclaim the artist's role as a maker of objects, using the sharpness of their spirit, their ideas, and hands that insist on making.
