Tina
Tarighian

Tina Tarighian is an artist whose practice moves between demo and spectacle, repurposing the formats of contemporary technology to examine what they do and what they reveal. Working in software, installation, and internet infrastructure, she builds inside the systems she examines, producing work that functions at scale and has reached millions.The frame on the right is what's running on the LED panels at the gallery right now — top row is the outer-state stream, bottom row is the inner-state stream.

Webzempic

Webzempic is a website that functions like the drug it's named after. You open it when you eat. When the site determines you've had enough, it starts a countdown to a nausea-inducing video. A commentary on diet culture, digital nausea, and the things we pay for to feel bad. Tarighian builds inside formats audiences already trust, turning the platforms themselves into delivery mechanisms for critique.

Outer state — what they meant to say.
