The Erosion of Silicon Beach is an essay, video, and sculptural ‘souvenir’ from Los Angeles-based artist Nina Sarnelle. The souvenir, an edition of mementos from Santa Monica, California — nicknamed “Silicon Beach” for its rapid influx of tech companies. Each bottle contains a mixture of beach sand and hand-crushed silicon crystal. In Sarnelle’s video, sunbathers and sand-castlers smash silicon wafers near the Santa Monica Pier, returning them to sand. These glittering disks embody the material core of today’s ubiquitous technologies — computers, phones, cameras — anything with a microchip depends upon silicon crystal as its essential semiconductor. This project re-imagines the very real problem of beach erosion in Southern California (exacerbated by human-caused climate change) with a further anthropocentric twist, staging a participatory shattering of techno-optimism that is both quotidian and sublime.
