REPOSITION

Feb 14, 2018 - Imre Kiss

In my new, ongoing series, REPOSITION, I deal with the Internet as the biggest technical image storage ever invented. Thanks to the billions of photos uploaded to the Internet, we perceive other people’s feelings from another moment and from another place. We can almost experience the sensory experience of someone else.  We move on to other scales, new horizons, enter virtual spaces, our vision is supported by various technical devices, or multimedia applications are flipping into previously unknown (and non-existent) realities. Our thoughts and everyday life are unintentionally and perhaps without thinking, but increasingly influenced and shaped by artificial intelligence-controlled or refined technical devices and services. My digital photo manipulations and collages challenge the relationship between reality and virtual representation.
