Chris Doyle: The Coast of Industry

Still from Chris Doyle, The Coast of Industry, 2024
Chris Doyle’s (2000 Awardee) video animation The Coast of Industry runs nearly 300 feet along one wall of MASS MoCA’s Building 5, and is inhabited by a family of machines that work together in concert with the natural world. Like organs of a body, the machines are interconnected, and each has a discrete function that contributes to the life of the larger organism.
