The New York-based ‘reality’ artist Signe Pierce examines the ambiguous intersection between art and technology in the 21st century. Her use of exaggerated light and colour is applied to scenes of the every day as she creates a heightened realism that negotiates between the realm of art and life.
Her distinct aesthetic, which is often oversaturated, excessive, aggressive and perverse, is frequently reposted and shared via Instagram. Pierce also plays with the male gaze, which has commonly been associated with the hypersexualised and idealised women in mainstream media channels, as her self-portrayal is rooted in the art of seduction and the hyperfeminine.

Export 📲 Yourself. I’m soooo thrilled to reflexxx on Deep Web, the haute couture collection by designer @floramirandaofficial + live performance by yours truly, which made its debut last week in Paris. I wrote and performed the role of Halo, a hyperreal estate agent + cyborgian thot leader showcasing the step-by-step process of how machines can and will be trained to gain their own sentient ability to uniquely produce garments, objects, and art through the use of neural networking systems, 3D scans, point-cloud optimization, mapping and segmentation, and printing. Putting the ‘Art’ in Artificial Intelligence’ whilst exploring the Devil/Angel/God polarities of techno singularity… looking forward to sharing more of these concepts with u 🔜🕹Thank u for the opportunity @floramirandaofficial ⚡️Thank u for the thicc braid @luxelab @alittlesnippy , thank u for being my artner in crime @styledbyphil

Tonight is the closing reception for my dearly beloved Tesseract show at @timessquarespace , curated by @tifzab ✨ 1500 Broadway / Enter on 43rd St / 18th Fl Public reception is from 7-10 PM, which provides a special and rare opportunity to see the show in its final form + at night, when it looks its absolute best. This picture was taken on my first night in the space, and it’s evolved to be so much more ~ bending and warping and shifting and moving through Time like a Tesseract (a 4th dimensional cube, a Time-Square, TIME²) I feel like I’ve grown a lot over the past two months of this residency as well… having time to think and reflect and respond to the ideas in my head is the greatest gift I could be given and I’m thankful to @tifzab for the opportunity. I welcome you to come check out the space, take photos, mingle with each other, and enjoy this experience with me.

I have some new work in the @vice Photo Issue which is out today. The issue’s theme is Privacy & Perception, two subjects I hold near & dear to my art. Thanks to @elizabethrenstrom & @aekholloway for working with me on this ✨ From the mag: In this series of self-portraits, Pierce is portraying herself in ways that are paradoxically abstract, digital, literal, and real. The abstracted images appear to have been digitally manipulated or liquified, but they’re not. With the exception of color correction, the photos have not been Photoshopped. Instead, she angled her camera lens toward a warped mirror, melting and morphing her body into, as she describes it, “a drippy, erotically charged Instagram thottie.” She’s asking viewers to consider the ways that real life isn’t always what it appears, and can be just as manipulative as the digital world. “If I didn’t tell you otherwise, would you have thought that this photo of a warped reflection was Photoshop? Does the fact that it was done in-camera make it any less manipulative than if it were done in post?”. The series also sees Pierce taking on the role of the bikini-clad centerfold whilst simultaneously assuming the position of the photographer, examining what it is to be the objectifier & the objectified.
