Mary Flanagan

Mary Flanagan Work from Avatar Portraits. “Cyberspace is a socially – mediated construction, made clear through the use of avatars, or personal representations in virtual worlds. By putting ourselves into digital worlds, we lose the self and become one with virtual spaces’ new elements. It seems that an aspect of identity is released as an […]

Michaela Thelenová

Michaela Thelenová Work from Landscapes. “In subject matter Michaela Thelenová’s work derives almost exclusively from the ambiguous reality of the post-industrial environment of North Bohemia. The poignant intimacy of her approach is further intensified by a frequently inspiring focus on her closest vicinity, when she uses as models for her artwork sections of her househould, […]

Ben Fry

Ben Fry Work from All Streets and Print Studies. Descriptions follow image order. Go to his website, you won’t regret it. “All of the streets in the lower 48 United States: an image of 26 million individual road segments.

Lorna Mills

Lorna Mills “…Lorna Mills is an artist who revels in the irreverent excesses of GIF culture, collecting and manipulating found GIFs from the most offensive and profane to the most abject and mundane. In her original GIF work, however, she creates contemplative animations that, unlike most other art GIFs, can be emotionally affecting. While Mills […]

Tanya Johnston

Tanya Johnston Work from her oeuvre. “Drawing from symbolism, semiotics, psychology, science and culture, my process of creation attempts to synthesize linear and non-linear thinking. Through my work I explore the realms of reality as illusion, and illusion as reality. I seek to bridge the gap between two hemispheres – both literally and metaphorically – […]

Jessica Eaton

Jessica Eaton Work from her oeuvre. “Eaton’s exhibit is a display of virtuosity, each piece a microcosm of what could become the basis for a larger show. Every print in the Emily Carr Institute graduate’s show represents a technical practice she has been refining for a year or more, as she related at the opening. […]

Joan Fontcuberta

Joan Fontcuberta Work from Landscapes Without Memory. There is also a great review here. “Rather than venturing out into nature, Joan Fontcuberta creates plausible, even spectacular landscapes using Terragen, a computer program originally created for military and scientific uses that turns maps into images of three-dimensional terrain. For these three works, Fontcuberta scanned details of […]
