This exhibition explores the use of digital technologies and the
photographic image in the creation of paintings, drawings and ceramic
objects. It posits that artists who use technology as the basis of their
art making are extending the experience of the “digital eye” so as to
reclaim an analogue familiarity. It will present works by artists who
create directly from digitally-mediated and photographic images, arguing
that the physical act of painting, drawing and object making, and the
presence of the artist’s hand brings us closer to the physical world
which we inhabit.
Curated by Dr Vincent Alessi, Senior Lecturer, Creative Arts, La Trobe University.
