Artist Research, Kate Steciw: Boundless Hyper
Ive always been interested in subversive artwork, anything that is critical or questioning of what is seen as normal in the way we live. I recently discovered Kate Steciw's project "boundless hyper" online and was fascinated, her three large scale digital collages which combine images from internet exploration and stock image databases. The images have been heavily manipulated into swirling abstractions more reminiscent of painting than photography. Each peace is titled with the list of search terms used to find the images used to make it. Taking mundane often polished comercial images and twisting there function in this way i think shows how overly visually stimulated we are by commercial images and questions if we have a choice to participate or not.
