In Crystallized Time is a group exhibition that will showcase works that are sensible to the speed accruing in societal structures as they develop technologically. Historically, artists have responded to and reflected upon the past, predicted the future, or tried to translate the fleetingness of the present; isolating and recreating experiences. Low and high fidelity graphics are meticulously painted and processed, and merge inside twisting landscapes and figures, gripping to a reality which exists in our memories or dreams; sometimes behind a screen. The subversion of material and warping of otherwise recognizable images are deceitful, questioning feelings of familiarity. The views are mechanical feeling and rely on images that are products of developments in surveillance, software, references accessible via Google Search, CCTV and other media, which are frameworks for imagining the space that straddles physical and digital reality. These devices are controlling, yet offer an idea of authentic decision making by the user (viewer), but our memories can be easily manipulated and fabricated, and our perception of time is affected by the digital. We ultimately become reliant upon and responsive to data, a world made of 1’s and 0's
