The
Sleelp of Reason
|
|
These works develop Guillem Ramos-Poquí's critical engagement with contemporary society and culture: in particular, the tension between their scientistic technological drives and our human search for emancipation and self-determination. Metaphor
and transformation play a key role as creative devices in articulating
the artists' response to some of the burning issues of our time: - pessimistic
outcomes of Darwinian evolution; the self-defeating contradicitons of
the arms race; the consequences and implications of global free market
capitalism; the dangers of a naive faith in a quick-fix, all embracing
computer technocracy; the destructive Cartesian fragmentation of experience
and culture. Addressing
the same themes is a selection of 2-d digital prints shown alongside these
works. |
