This is a piece from last week but I didn't really delve too far into it. I suppose the imagery was driven by the surface, a broken old computer screen. the image is painted on the screen, almost looking like a screen image, and meant to comment on the relationship between the real and illusion.
You can view anything on a computer screen, yet it's not really ever there. Furthermore, you can see this image on the screen, but also realize that it's a physical 2-D image, more real than any photo you could ever download. Even further, the image is a depiction of nature on technology...the absence or opposite of nature....and therefore more real than an actual image of nature if it was on the screen. Confused yet?
Basically it's an imitation of nature on technology which could show you a real photo of nature, which would still be less real than the image you currently see.
Basic idea, you're computer can't create experience...it gives the illusion of that. Get out and do something real.
