Untextured: to which a texture has not been applied.
Looped digital projection, Looped moving image on monitors, and vinyl on light-boxes.
Untextured explores how the mediums and languages of graphic design can be used out of context as abstract forms. It explores the relationship between the digital space and physical space, giving digital information a physical presence. The exhibition blurs the lines between these two spaces incorporating works that require both digital and physical elements to exist.
The exhibition explores how we perceive the digital space when it is stripped back to the bare minimum: textureless forms. These checkerboard-like forms are often found in the background of the digital space. Often overlooked and seen as glitches, untextured brings these forms into the foreground and explores what happens when they are used to create new information. Through the creation of new information and the shift into the physical, the infinite intangible nature of digital information is transformed into tangible forms that are accessible to the viewer.
