Turbulence Guest Curators: "ICONography" by Patrick Lichty
http://turbulence.org/curators/icon
"(The) development of iconography in the digital signifies far deeper connections with the human construction of meaning than merely creating a mental mnemonic to represent a program, dataset, document, etc."–Patrick Lichty
For thousands of years, from Lascaux to the computer desktop, the practice of creating iconographic language has been part of human existence. Lichty considers the role of the icon in computer and human culture in context with the works shown in this exhibition.
ICONography includes: Babel, Giselle Beiguelmann, Simon Biggs, Justin Buck, Johannes Blank, Troy Innocent, M. Takeo Magruder, Vincent Makowski, Mr. K, John Simon, Plasma Studii, Andrei Thomasz, Carlo Zanni, Jody Zellen, and Ricardo Miranda Zuniger; as well as texts by Lichty, Alina Serban and Valentina Tanni.
