"US Imperialism and the Odious Debt Economies""US Imperialism and the ‘Odious Debt’ Economies, is an interactive installation and infoart piece concerned with the role of US militarism and preemptive world dominance in the developing ‘odious debt’ economies. Through the interaction of television signals, sensor activated robots, a remote controlled UN vehicle and a world map based on developing country export statistics, the battle for global justice will be at your fingertips. Thwart the capitalist bug monster robot and protect developing countries from global mono-culture."
Joshua Short's works are entertaining to say the least. The artist provides an amusing and youthful view on living in America. I particularly appreciate his ability to interactively represent the role of US Imperialism in foreign economies. His other work plays with the concept of money and travel, like "You Gotta Move" is a reflection of his cross country road trip. The viewer gets to momentarily experience a daydream of road tripping.
