 presents artists who transform media culled
from mass production including Styrofoam, Plexiglas, paper, and pieces
of plastic to create works that articulate a decidedly hi-tech aesthetic.
Reflecting the post-industrial and technological times in which the work
is produced, the varied pieces in technocraft make reference to the biological
sciences, space travel, virtual reality, computer parts, and engineered
landscapes. These technology-inspired works, however, belie the hi-tech
manufactured appearance of their construction and materials; each is systematically
and meticulously produced not by machine, but by the artist's hand.
technocraft examines the tension, contradictions, and synthesis between
the mass produced and handcrafted.
