Concept

Dichotomies such as real and virtual, AI and human, are transformed into matter by the medium of painting and sculpture. The evolution of human technology and science may extend our imagination. But our bodies have not changed from those of hunters tens of thousands of years ago. We take for granted our use of smart phones and the many images and information we can easily share. The device feels like our skin, as if it has always been there. Our desire has fueled the development of replication technology. But when that desire takes a different form, it will return to the universality of the organism, transcending the violence born of desire.
