Chater - Cell Series 2003 By removing the inner workings of old computer monitors, ambiguous yet evocative spaces are revealed - existing beyond the screen. Through simple experimentation with lenses, scale and lighting, the theatricality and architectural qualities of these spaces are heightened and the resulting projected images present the viewer with a space made distant and alien. Using the computers’ ‘hardware’ as opposed to its ‘software’ continues a simple, direct (even ‘low-tech’) approach of generating more sophisticated ideas relating |
 |
||||
|
to science and technology. The aim is to produce works capable of provoking strange and seductive readings that are arguably heightened by their ability to simultaneously reveal themselves as familiar and ‘every-day’. Ultimately the works intend to evoke questions about the symbiotic relationship between technology and science fiction. That is, how the technology of yesterday and today informs visions of tomorrow - and vice versa. |
