Curated by Andy Patton

Dimensionality takes assumptions of perspective coming to an end, or
mutating under new environmental pressures ?video games, computer
animation, 3-D computer models? as its generative trope. Curator,
Andy Patton has assembled a group of artists whose specific practices
address the new spaces of digital realities. The works in the
exhibition are often diagrammatic and stripped of worldly detail.
They declare an involvement with information instead of sensuous
phenomena. The participating artists don?t produce the sort of
naturalist space we?ve seen for the last few centuries, rather, their
space is structured like that of video games?a space that?s only
convincing if it streams rapidly by, before its too-generalized
surfaces can be inspected. As Patton states, ?Star Trek was wrong:
space is the initial frontier.?
