We need to have a 100 word statement for the grad book. I think I started this at least 10 times. Normally I can just right through it then cut it back. For some reason this time I never got to the end, I would give up then start again. I decided the issue was I was trying to say too many things after about 5 hours I ended up with a statement that I quite like. See below.
I have always been enticed by the promise of technology. I am fascinated in how people relate to technology and what role it has in art and play. My work “Seated figure?” repurposes game technology using it to set up a discussion as to what is our relationship with these new technologies. Who is leading whom? In the work, the viewer is the art, viewing the art, being viewed by the art. So who is the artist, and what role can technology play in blurring these lines?
