Statement
I keep the subject of my inquiry constantly before me, and wait till the first dawning opens gradually, by little and little, into a full and clear light.
Isaac Newton
This exhibition presumes a culture defined, increasingly, by our ability to gather, categorize, and disseminate immense amounts of information. The artists in this exhibition use a range of media—photography, installation, sculpture, painting, video, and emerging technologies—to investigate two distinct aspects of this emergent cultural impetus.
The artworks in Sorta have been conceived as responses to, models of, or results from this ongoing filtration of cultural information; the exhibition includes works by artists who address the technological, the social, and the deeply personal ways to filter wide ranging and infinitely varied sets of information.
