Fracture
I feel 50% digital, 50% analogue.
Perhaps being born in 1985 has something to do with my life being split down the middle by the year 2000. Growing up computers and art took equal place in my life. As a young person I lost sleep building computers and games, and also painting and practicing handstands.
Now that I’m 31, I have some perspective on that and I’ve become quite comfortable with the idea that raw materials and data can interact within art equally, even if they seem opposites. One a solid state, the other transformable. Making something that lasts beyond weather or in-build redundancy is always the goal. Making something that will speak for generations to come..
I’ve attached this image by Salvador Dali. A painting that is made to be viewed through mirrors in order to combine the two images. Who would have thought that this would become common place within the trans-humanist landscape, by means of virtual reality or mixed reality.. Although - this painting will never become out-dated or redundant. It speaks forever as surreal and it just keeps getting more surreal as time goes on.
