This exhibition considers the ways in which contemporary artists use strategies of deflection, disruption and subterfuge to trouble the data-generated image.
Image, Interrupted includes new and recent works of photography, painting, textile and video that find loopholes and misdirections in the technologies that shape images today.
As a material, a subject and a non-human collaborator, data drives these artworks and their commentary on contemporary politics, storytelling, environment, conflict and sex. Image, Interrupted considers the material textures of these hybrid forms, and the practices of artists who complicate the machine generated image via the tactile imagination.
