Searching For The Light has a review up of Siebren Versteeg’s Reflection Eternal at Bitforms Gallery.

“It is so aesthetically pleasing that I find it harder to believe the production of the paintings are completely random, but then again who knows if it ever was? What I do know is the wonder of Siebren’s work hasn’t grown old, and the results seem to get more and more appealing. Which ups the ante for process-based painting, as well as what it means to make art. As with much of Siebren’s work, it raises the question does your computer dream of electric sheep?”

Digital data has become one of the most integral and misunderstood resources in contemporary society. In many parts of the world, people go about their daily lives completely saturated with the digital. Yet few have a firm grasp of what the nebulous technological product really is. One of the major contributions to our confusion stems from the difficulty of conceptualizing its materiality: we see the products of digital information all the time but rarely its origin or process. Where does all our data go when it’s not illuminated on a screen? How does a virtual object gain significance? These uncertainties directly relate to the ways in which we, as individual subjects, interact with digital technology. In the exhibition Subsurface Hell at bitforms gallery, Sara Ludy materializes her digital experiences. And by using aspects of the ancient Chinese philosophical system of feng shui to inform her work, she creates artworks that exist in contradictory states of artificial and natural beauty.
