“Fake realities will create fake humans. Or, fake humans will generate fake realities and then sell them to other humans, turning them, eventually, into forgeries of themselves. So we wind up with fake humans inventing fake realities and then peddling them to other fake humans.” - Philip K Dick (predicting, perhaps, the market for Twitter Non-People…)
Spoke last night at the Science Gallery with Roisin McNamee about our Lost Threads research project and blog. Above are some photos of “Golden Ticket” invitations to a planned event later in the summer.
Excited to be part of this exhibition which opens towards the end of the month - more artists to be announced, Casey Reas and FIELD will be in the room next door though…
Finished this recently - Rhianna (after Chris Brown). Extensive use of pattern dithering in what I think of as a “glitch-of-a-glitch”.
Straight from Blender, renderings of a model of an AR-15 Lower Receiver. In Cody Wilson’s words: “I don’t think we’re Utopians, I think the real Utopia is the idea that we can go back to the 1990s and everything will be perfect forever”.
Artist Rob Sherwood
Rob Sherwood’s work is about finding a depth of perception, literally and metaphorically, in a flat-screened world. He considers himself a painter but his practice has always allowed some time for conducting experiments with various lens based media.
Attracted by the way digital technology blurs boundaries between physical and virtual space, his paintings can be seen as taking the grid for a visual metaphor of human cognition. Whether each square is interpreted as a pixel, cell, bit or atom is consequential to it being first and foremost just a painted mark.
Recently he has begun translating his aesthetic sensibilities and theoretical interests into objects. As with his grid paintings, these works tamper with an apparently rigid system and find creative space in a subjective interference. The suggestion is that models which appear strict or sterile can combine meaningfully with subjective fields of feeling, whether in the algorithms of the internet or those of a painted pattern.

An animation about motivation on this week’s syllabus for Learning Creative Learning that struck a chord. Only thing is, it was made by Cognitive Media - a studio with a disconcertingly similar name to my own Cognate Media
