I hope Richard Serra is proud of his son, Michael Cera

On the internet, fact and fiction are never set in stone. An image is real not if it actually occurred, but if it appears to have. Authenticity is determined not by citations but by reblogs. The information and memory in one’s mind acquired from the internet does not discriminate based on honesty, but by impact. I believe that the role of the artist to shuffle the flow of information, and to redirect the sequence of history for their own purposes. I made this piece entitled “I hope Richard Serra is proud of his son, Michael Cera” as a simple attempt to reconcile an estranged father and son, choosing to distribute it as both an image and a digital object.
