The Curtis R. Harley art gallery, located in the Humanities and Performing Arts center, is now hosting a new exhibit titled Pink Noise.
Composed of sixteen pieces by interdisciplinary artists Jessica Swank and Maggie Genoble, the exhibit comments on how the lines between human and technology are constantly being blurred.
“The show is a group effort, curated from previous works, and shows all the different ways that technology infiltrates our lives,” Genoble said at the opening reception on November 14th.
“I wanted to ask what is human and what is digital, where is the boundary between cyborg and human,” Swank said.
The work is made from various mediums, including photographs, silicone molds, 3D printed objects, and TV screens. Many of the pieces are not allowed to be touched, except for piece twenty-six titled Flesh and Blood.
“The blocks are pixels meant to look like blood and flesh, and I’m curious to see what they’ll end up looking like by the end of the exhibit,” Swank said.
Swank graduated from Clemson University with an MFA in Visual Arts and currently is a professor at the South Carolina School of the Arts at Anderson University. Genoble recently graduated from Wofford College with a BA in Studio Art and Art History.
The exhibition is currently open and free for the public, until December 13th, during HPAC hours (M-F from 8:30AM-5PM).
