Curated by Simone Hine, Griffith University Art Museum and ISEA 2024 present Press.
Press brings together the work of two artists, Sue Beyer and Tara Pattenden. Both artists employ digital technologies to produce physical objects that emphasise tactile, sonic and spatial experiences. These works locate technology in materiality, present as objects in the gallery. These technologies act as metaphors for networked data, while simultaneously pointing to the physicality of technological forms, which is often ignored in the digital era.
For Beyer, the composition of self-portraiture is assigned to big data and machine learning. The resulting installation is a spatial and temporal cross-platform installation, which collages disparate data and ultimately tells the viewer more about the technology than the subject.
