 <\/p>\n

This exhibition, drawn from the Borusan Contemporary Art collection and curated by Dr. Necmi Sonmez, features work that use experimental approaches to producing New Media art framed by the possibilities afforded by digital processes.\u00a0 Hyper Digital Forces explores the “New Visuality” underscored by the qualities of images emergent in digital culture.\u00a0 Comparing the digital to previous technological forms, like video art and neon sculpture, then with canvases, collages, and manipulated forms informed by classical technique.\u00a0 The exhibition contrasts the “moving” and “standing” images from this.<\/p>\n

Digital techniques have allowed artists to reshape their mythologies from those of classical gods and goddesses to that of democratized data, stripping the sanctity of the work, replacing it with spaces of contemporary thought and affect from neon and the electrified image to the spaces of the digital and hyperreal.\u00a0 This is evidenced in beginning with the work of transmedia artist Brigitte Kowanz to the neon of Sonnier, creating a narrative stretching between the two.\u00a0 The narrative points to a space involving still, moving, electric, and digital forms that follow the Borusan\u2019s mission of questioning artistic and institutional narratives.<\/p>\n

The body of work in Hyper Digital Forces oscillates between the image, form, and digital and light, with several floors’ themes featuring a given artist.\u00a0 Kowanz’s lightwork, 1234567890, transitions to Ayse Erkmen\u2019s Colorful,\u00a0 a ceramic walkway calling attention between Borusan\u2019s Haunted Mansion and the Bosporus.\u00a0 In video, John Gerrard\u2019s Endling, an uncanny aviary specter, counterpoints Jennifer Steinkamp\u2019s Daisy Chain, and Chul Hyun Ahn\u2019s Mirror Drawings counterpoint Erwin Riedl\u2019s Meandering, both working with the visual nature of space.\u00a0 Ya\u011f\u0131z \u00d6zgen\u2018s 8 Bit Color Palette Inputs also interrogate color in the post-Classical area of New Visuality.\u00a0 On floor 4, Leo Villareal\u2019s Particle Field (Triptych) stands opposite Ellen Kooi\u2019s haunting C-Prints. \u00a0On the Mezzanine, Michael Kenna\u2019s stark silver prints show stark images of Aisa, while Morellet\u2019s Neon references Kowanz and Sonnier.\u00a0 The seventh floor is dedicated to Claudia Hart\u2019s Dream<\/em>, and on the 9th<\/sup> Floor, Andrew Roger\u2019s Unfurling and <\/em>Beat Zoderer\u2019s Patchball #3 reveal sculptural notions of the exhibition’s ideas of the visual.<\/p>\n

Hyper Digital Forces creates a space for discussing the show’s “The New Visuality” ideas by laying out sets of parameters and then exploring the continuums between them.\u00a0 With the works spanning roughly the past two decades, Hyper Digital Forces suggests that this visual space has emerged since the turn of the millennium. \u00a0Unlike ideas like Bridle’s “New Aesthetic” and its emphasis on an operational\/machine aesthetic, this exhibition moves between more historical forces.\u00a0 It moves forward in the contemporary notions of deeply framing new media in history.\u00a0 Sonmez’s concept of visuality in terms of the democratized data space of digital culture reveals the deep temporal connections between contemporary media art and the art historical tradition.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
