Once you come to terms with the relationship, The Cloud can become an intimate partner with whom one shares the geography of their interior self.<\/p>\n<p>This work stands as both a physical visual signifier of our relationship with technology and as an intangible experience existing only online. The Cloud is composed of mylar balloons which function doubly as a tangible representation of the cloud and, using the short acronyms preferred by internet users, as a visual joke. The base, which holds the cloud aloft, is a public WiFi hot spot that requires connected users to accept the National Security Agency&#8217;s justification for the mass collection of internet data. This behavior mimics the majority of internet users tacit acceptance of a policy that has been in place for some time. After every minute of browsing using The Cloud&#8217;s WiFi connection, users are redirected to the NSA&#8217;s website.<\/p>\n<h1>About the artist<\/h1>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/fuse2015.thefusefactory.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/bio.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-0\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-236 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/fuse2015.thefusefactory.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/bio-243x300.jpg\" alt=\"bio\" width=\"243\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/fuse2015.thefusefactory.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/bio-243x300.jpg 243w, http:\/\/fuse2015.thefusefactory.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/bio.jpg 324w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 243px) 100vw, 243px\" \/><\/a>Vincent Cohen is a third year student pursuing a BFA in the sculpture program at The Ohio State University.
