Cooper Jacoby makes sculptures and installations that animate the infrastructures of everyday life. Drawing on histories of computation and design, he reshapes ubiquitous interfaces - from intercoms and thermostats to answering machines and street lights - using generative AI, sensors and responsive systems. His work examines the narratives embedded in technologies, revealing the resources, forms of labor and systems of extraction that underpin them.
