An exciting new exhibit featuring two artists:
“Fragmented” is a photography series by Claudia Starkey that was created using an intricate computer algorithm. It is a surrealist exploration of how the brain processes memories intentionally replicated using current technology. The innovative method of composing photos uses personal photos that the artist has taken mixed in with others inherited as family heirlooms. It blends in images of her ancestors and childhood, along with more contemporary scenes of people, places, and objects. The photos range anywhere from the early 70s to the current times, but a few go all the way back to the 1920s. Each photograph is a journey into a surrealist realm.
“Transparencies in Time” is a visual art installation by Jose Trejo-Maya that is both interactive, multidisciplinary, and kin-esthetic audio-visual sculpture. It’s a multi-phase comprehensive exposé on Mesoamerican lore and more specifically on a pre-Columbian notion of time. The poetry is alive, and the oral tradition still lives, though it’s thought that this ancient culture is dead.
