Curator’s Statement:
Rage against the machine
Or make love to it. It’s hard for most of us to come down decisively without over-simplifying our relationship to machines and to nature. Our romantic notions of the feral world often point out the inherent desire to control what we worship. (Mustang horse/Mustang car) Still, the objects of human engineering are not always intent on hubris. Think of a brick wall--or your toilet. Their functional humility has a certain charm.
Our idea for this project is to collect artists who take a contemporary view of flora, fauna, and the objects of human engineering. Some of these artists use cutting-edge technology to make their images. Others use methods that are centuries old. As the work comes together, we hope a more tempered view of what surrounds us, in all its complexity, will emerge.
