Public artworks and response

In 2015 Weist's public artwork Reach went viral.^[1] The artwork consists of a single word ("parbunkells"), that had never been used on the Internet, installed on a billboard in Forest Hills, Queens.^[2] The public response to the project was wide-ranging and there was an extensive amount of social media activity related to the billboard. Entrepreneurial attempts to capitalize on the project included the creation of T-shirts and other merchandise on Redbubble and the sale of a domain using the word parbunkells which was listed on eBay for $20,000.^[3] In a work called After, About, With Weist spent two years, from 2013–2015, manipulating the search results for the artist Haim Steinbach as a way to explore how meaning about artists' work is codified online.^[4] Weist was selected for a public artwork commission initiated by the Department of Cultural Affairs in New York City in 2019.^[5] As part of that project, she embedded with the NYC Department of Records and Information Services and created artworks that were classified as government records.^[6] In 2022 Weist's second billboard-based project premiered in Times Square.^[7] In this work, Weist advertised a short film she made called Governing Body^[8] and chose to use a promotional design for the film that Motion Picture Association of America disapproved for public use. The National Coalition Against Censorship issued a statement of support for Weist's Times Square billboard, calling on the Motion Picture Association to update its standards.^[9]
