- ‘The way you know, a painter uses paint, paint is a material, language is a material, Neon is a material. I'm interested in playing with that word as material. To cross it out, to invert it, to put it upside down, to make it blink off and on obnoxiously. It’s all a way of playing with this word when we think we know what it means.’
For the third film in our Material series, Glenn Ligon takes us upstate to Kingston, New York to meet his long-time collaborator, Matt Dilling, who founded Lite Brite Neon in 1999. The two have been collaborating with the medium over the course of the last 20 years.

What a lovely collaboration and how fortunate for Glenn to have found such a graceful man in Matt. The work is clever and interesting and prescient. But I'm not sure America is particularly narcissistic at the moment (compared to the '80s & '90s), in fact, because of social media, improvements in education, and increasing beuracratric transparency, it has matured in self-reflection. The US couldn't do Vietnam today, for example. America is also being humbled financially. Perhaps the 'me' in America could be the people finding themselves in their country, finding their power and responsibility, that they are the core of the country and can make it better as a group of "me's".
On the contrary, because of social media, narcissism has definitely increased, especially on visually-based platforms like Instagram and Tik-Tok. The younger generation of Americans are attention-seeking addicts. It's all about them. The evidence is blatantly just a scroll away. I thought you were being sarcastic. If you're referring to institutional bureaucratic transparency, that may be the case since 2020, but any perceived transparency of the federal government is an illusion. Always look deeper than what is presented on the surface. You will be surprised at what you will find.
