“As technology becomes ever inseparable from our everyday lives the boundaries between the digital and analog are increasingly blurred. Digitalism explores works by abstract artists that bridge the two realms whether the digital aspects are apparent or not. Andrew Reach creates fully digital images that harken back to his interest in architecture. Through the computer, Reach is able to render his compositions both one and two dimensionally, either animating them on screen, or digitally printing the work as physical objects. With their weavings, Meagan Smith begins their designs on the computer. Through the use of a digital loom, they are able to hand-paint the threads and manipulate the weaving as it’s being created to introduce analog processes into woven structures. Similarly, Jenniffer Omaitz develops her ideas from an interest in architecture through paper maquettes that are photographed, digitally rendered, and printed as a reference point for her paintings. Each artist utilizes a digital component, anchoring technology as a creative tool and process to create physical works.”
