About the Item
Random Internet Cats
Robotically-fabricated drawings on paper, these series formally deal with mediation from screen image to ‘drawing’ while using a computer-controlled pen plotter. In this case, the pen holder is suspended by two toothed cables creating a swinging motion of the carriage, creating a random element in creating the mark. For me, creating a generative image, which refers to artists like Roman Verostko and Harold Cohen with an imprecise method of control again creates issues about drawing as having a particularly ‘human’ gesture.
Conceptually RIC’s come from the pervasiveness of cat culture on the Internet as a distant cousin of Marisa Olson’s ideas of ‘internet-aware’ culture as part of her idea of the postinternet. The RIC series started as a playful satire on Internet culture. However, the emergence of my connection of kittens vs. drones emphasize the critical issues of drones throughout the world, the fact that many of our pets are in fact ‘predators’, ad that the First World Internet denizen’s eyes may be more focused on kittens than drones. This is expressed through the gesture of these kittens swatting at drones like flies or birds.

- SWAN IN LOVE (TEOREMA 50)By Christina McPheeLocated in New York, NYSWAN IN LOVE (TEOREMA 50), 2012 ink, watercolor, airbrush paint, graphite on paper 37.5 x 52 inches / 952 x 1320 mm unframed Christina McPhee’s expansive abstract paintings, drawings, photographs, and videos test or query how can we know, and who is we? Moving from within a matrix of measurement, observation and contingent effects, her work resists characterization as product, and continually accesses fields outside itself. For her, process equals trial. Her work emulates potential forms of life, in various systems and territories, from a perspective of the non-self– a world beyond identity. McPhee’s dynamic, performative, physical engagement with materials, in both her analogue and digital works, is a seduction into surface-skidding calligraphic gestures and mark-making. The tactics of living are in subterfuge, like the ‘dazzle ships...Category
