POWER GRID PLUS ONE is a limited edition silkscreen print by Los Angeles based artist, Dane Picard. The print shares its subject matter with Picard’s outdoor mural which refers to the artist’s ongoing interest with things technological, and how present-day innovations have affected our biological and geological environments. Picard has created an image that signals the multiplicity of choices and perspectives, which occupy this moment in time. While utilizing an image of a single canary to symbolize the natural world, he uses representations of electrical outlets set in the form of a gridded code to depict our attempted dominion over nature. This limited edition print picks up on the idea of the power grid as a cultural phenomenon that signifies a biologically opposed infrastructure for which we have become dependent.
