M3 Gold

M3 Gold is an aggregate of hundreds of conspiracy-based memes screenprinted in various shades of gold-inked overlapping layers on canvas.  Here the meme’s message is purposefully depowered by displacing the symbol from their original propaganda context. The artist’s use of gold ink highlights the monetization of these hazardous memes by numerous parties, including the social media conglomerates which provide the platform for them to become viral, and the global political parties and their supporters who market pro-war messaging to benefit their financial interests at great cost to global stability. 

M3 Gold signifies at once the abundance of content and information around civil wars and wars between nations, and the monetary interests that drive the content to virality.
