The language of technology is the visual language of our time. Introducing this language to the classical vocabulary of painting allows for an update that keys the work to our digital epoch.

Steve Miller has been working with art, science and technology since 1980. He collaborated with the 2003 Nobel Laureate in Chemistry, Rod MacKinnon, in a project about human protein, worked at Brookhaven National Labs and at CERN in Geneva. For a decade, Miller proposed to give Brazil, our planetary lungs, a medical check-up by taking x-rays of the Amazon. The painting “Far Enough Away”, featured in this exhibition, is the cover image for his third book, Surfing the Cosmos, to be published by G Editions in the fall of 2022. He exhibits internationally.

Compression of time is a hallmark of our restless digital world. We may feel disjointed as we switch from one frame of reference to the next in the blink of an eye, or perhaps we feel liberated from an endless monotony. These algorithmically generated photos layer digital bits of the sea in which we swim into a distorted compression of time and space as seen from a train window.

Lee has worked in a range of creative fields – photography, interactive media and creative writing. Returning now to his first love, photography, he is exploring how far he can push the algorithms of the digital image. Recent shows include Clipping Suburbia – Japan, and TrainPan: Industrial Abstraction at Soho Photo Gallery, NY. ‘TrainPans: GPS’, a two-screen digitally choreographed animation of 15,000 distressed-compression images, appeared at Creative Tech Week 2018.
