Fulfillment features Linder’s drawings, video, and sculptures, forming a multimedia installation. The exhibition explores the hidden aspects of e-commerce, cloud computing, crypto-mining, and the legal contracts that bind us to these technological systems. According to the exhibition pamphlet, Linder uses pen and paper to reconnect the digital world with tangible nature, expressing her simultaneous fascination and horror with digital systems of transaction and communication.
Linder’s work is based on observation. For this exhibition, she visited e-commerce sites in Buffalo and Niagara, NY, where she drew the sites from her car. The resulting collection includes accordion books of drawings depicting crypto-mining warehouses, cloud computing server farms, fulfillment centers, and surrounding neighborhoods in Buffalo. These landscapes are complemented by hand-drawn facsimiles of “terms of service” and “email communications” from digital platforms like Amazon and Meta.
