Hamilton's
Interior containing Thatcher's TV image gazing upon a seedy NHS space moves out of the interior and swiftly mutates into the ubiquitous
Toaster; we, the viewer now gaze at the shiny, metallic structure; it reflects our faces and other faces merging our identities. It is a surveillance rather than a consumerist aesthetic. The job of the
Toaster (breakfast) is forgotten and a new principle of usage arises; we use our shiny appliances and the people at GCHQ use
that use. Hamilton wished to investigate the epic in everyday objects; he was re-examining
Toaster as late as 2008;
Toaster de luxe 1 is both epic and secret expressing Government's insatiable desire for machines that can can capture
all information irregardless of its value.
