About the Item

TTYL, 2017 Neon, transformer 68 x 30 in (173 x 72 cm). Edition 1 of 3 := (equal by definition) is a body of works that explores in a whimsical way, how language is formed, transformed and simplified by technology in human communication. Each pair of neons place one above the other read common acronyms used in digital communication along with the full sentences they refer to. While the concept expressed remain the same, its visual written representation evolves as language as affected by and digital communication thru our phones.  Esmeralda Kosmatopoulos is a multi-disciplinary conceptual artist. She has lived her life surrounded by unique cultures—born in Greece, raised in Paris—she now lives and works in NY. Her work investigates the definition and construction of identities, personal memories and collective histories in the digital age. Influenced by the increasing interplay between physical and virtual spaces, Kosmatopoulos decontextualize everyday-life objects, cultural symbols and behaviors and translates them into the Internet and social media world. Her work has exhibited in the United States, Canada, Europe and Latin America. Kosmatopoulos also worked alongside socially charged entities such as the Organization of American States (OAS) to create large-scale installations that raise awareness on social issues.
