THE SIZE OF A CREDIT CARD
THE SIZE OF A CREDIT CARD
THE PLUMB
APR. 01 - APR. 30, 2022
TORONTO
A credit card represents many things; a human, a company, a system of fiat currency, capital, a site of neo-colonialism. Algorithms used internally at credit card companies to protect, secure and track data are so exact, they can predict a divorce with a 90% accuracy, two years in advance. The weight of a credit card is the approximate weight of plastic consumed into the human body on a weekly basis. The size of a credit card explores the disproportionate implications this small piece of plastic has on the human body and the systems of transaction, consumption, absorption and dissemination that circulate around it.
