Let's All Abandon Reality Together unfolds across a series of algorithmically-produced, animated light box sculptures. The works emerge from the artist's intensive development of a custom art-making workflow spanning software, design, manufacturing, and installation. Backlit by a hypnotic LED glow, Williams' esoteric image-objects pulse with saturated, synthetic light, recalling therapeutic devices used to treat Seasonal Affective Disorder. These illuminated images operate as anti-depressants against a deeper malaise, the dimming of shared consensus in an era of social, informational, and perceptual disillusion.
