The Socio-Systematics Organization

Surfing the bleeding edge of the tech-wave, and leveraging our global network of human and digital resources, SocioSystematics is designing the future of our corporate world. The SS model is a distributed network of semi-autonomous units using swarming technology for light-speed communication of unprecedented speed and precision. Capital costs are kept low by our decentralized global virtuality which allows for an almost total elimination of physical plant, and by our progressive elimination of human workers in favor of digital intelligences.

SS: Working today to be ready for tomorrow, because The Future Is Our Business.™

  DISINCORPORATED

Lifting the rock of corporate personhood to see what crawls out...  

In 1886 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that corporations are "Natural Persons" and have (most of) the same rights as human U.S. Citizens (and many that we don't).  This twisted doctrine has been accepted around the world, and today corporations are, in a sense, the dominant "lifeform" on the planet.

So if a corporation is a person, what does that person look like?
In 1998 I had an urge to sew some business-suits together.  I wasn't really conscious of why I wanted to do it, but it soon became obvious to me that I was creating a model of this bizarre modern Frankenstein's Monster: the corporate person.  Working on the first of these sculptures, "Two Faced", I sewed two white businessman shirts together and stuffed them with shredded office paper.  Stepping back from the sculpture I saw that I had created a two-headed Klansman. Scary, but also kind of funny with it's pathetic, abject look. I've continued to explore this rich cultural vein in many media since then, and had a show called "corpoRACIST" of much of this work at Philadelphia's Space 1026 in October of 2004.
