Influences and techniques shared among colleagues comprise a school of image making based in the disruption of the translated image, resulting in a collage-like layering of painterly surfaces. Works in the exhibition investigate painting as a means to capture both the data lost and the artifacts gained during the image’s migration from projection to tangible pigment.

Central to the exhibition is an engagement with the archive and the inherent discrepancies of narrative in painting. By unearthing archival images and digital artifacts, the artists explore the friction between dominant cultural histories and the esotericisms of individual identity. They interpret memory as a process of continuous loss; much like a digital file degrading through repeated compression, these works suggest that our recollections are subject to glitches and the inevitable erosion of information. 

In this context, the artists examine how external perspectives can overshadow personal identity. The works suggest that digital and physical post-production—through techniques like distortion and layering—can obscure private self, replacing it with a mediated version of reality.
