The Modem Operandi works represent in-between places where the digital and the tangible coexist. Consisting of 8 paintings, 3 painting/sculptures, an installation and one sculpture, the series presents the internet as a landscape. A place inhabited by communities with relationships that stretch across traditional and national borders.
With the ability to instantly connect with friends, family and others in sometimes distant places, many relationships now exist in cyberspace. These relationships can contribute to an individual’s sense of geography, challenge personal definitions of traditional and national boundaries and broaden the concept of home.
The seemingly ubiquitous presence of the internet has changed how people relate. Thousands of miles apart yet involved and invested. This instantaneous and continuous mixing of ideas across great distances has potential for new forms of cultural hybridity.
The work depicts the internet as a collaborative community; in an in-between place, existing as (digitized) transnational social landscapes.
