Diamond Supercut
Diamond Supercut satirizes luxury commerce and products that exist solely to broadcast their own expense. The necklace incorporates seven OLED screens in a series of plastic links, connected to power and data through a repurposed ethernet cable doubling as a rope chain. The three larger vertical displays show media clips of the word “diamond” interspersed with diagrams of gem cuts; the four horizontal screens play a looping animation inspired by jewelers’ signage in downtown Brooklyn. Through its blunt and cynical communication, Diamond Supercut challenges viewers to consider the messages inherent in their own patterns of consumption.
