Simon Denny Augments Amazon Delivery Drone With Mineral Mining Propaganda

Simon Denny’s solo exhibition “Mine” opens at Friedrich Petzel Gallery, New York City, disentangling “data mining, mineral mining, and the mechanization of labor.” The show brings together recent works, like Denny’s massive cardboard mining machines clad in cartoony videogame textures, as well as newer ones: the artist’s 2021 sculpture of a patented Amazon delivery drone comes alive with an animated AR model of a mineral-rich Earth that is drawn from mineral mining propaganda.
