The Pearlstein is pleased to announce our summer exhibitions coming to the gallery August 18th - October 10th.
Digital Twin showcases Drexel Westphal faculty, graduate, and undergraduate students who transform human experience through digital rendering, exploring the sublime and chilling effects of technology on physical and psychological existence.
As humans interact with digital spaces, our data is formed into thousands of “twins” which claim to represent our behavior, preferences, and personas. What do we share with our recreations? How does living beside them shift our data so that our twins morph alongside us?
These nine artists employ video, speculative design, interactivity, ceramic 3D printing, and assemblage to probe digital doubling technologies, and to imagine paths forward for reclaiming human agency beside our digital twins. Reverent and profane, farcical and severe, unnerving and uplifting, Digital Twin showcases the Westphal community as it wrestles with some of the most pressing creative problems of the digital age.
Curated by Micah Lockman-Fine, a Drexel MS Design Research candidate who crafts exhibitions, performances, and experiments to build progressive speculative futures.
Featuring work by Rghad Balkhyoor, Lewis Colburn, Ann T. Dinh, Nicole Feller Johnson, Emil Polyak, Tin Ta, Victoria Wohlforth, Darren Woodland, and Cooper Wright.
