[Description]
Supersurface²⁰¹⁸ is the first solo exhibition of Australian artist Trent Crawford in Japan. Primarily focused on the dissection of ‘new media’ and technology, his new body of work is an exploration into how digital infrastructure has come to reframe the individual within their environment. Drawing upon pre-internet visions of a connected future, his work observes how these visions have come to predict and influence the current performance of contemporary life within a collective society.
[Artist information]
Trent Crawford is an artist living and working in Melbourne Australia. He completed a BFA (Honours) at the Victorian College of the Arts. Interested in dissecting images and technology to explore them in a passive state, Trent’s work focuses on entering the in-between moments in time where the subject or material exists in a state of lapse; often with their function usurped or absent. By disassembling, restructuring and repurposing new media he calls to question how the framing devices of screens and filters are active in the construction, fragmentation and degeneration of the image.
