Paintings by Randy Wray and Amy Yoes

The Cranbrook Art Museum (part of Cranbrook Academy of Art, famous for its influence on architecture and graphic design in the 90s) had an exhibition in 2003 called Post-digital painting. Curated by Joe Houston, the show presented positions in painting that reflect the influence of digital media on visual arts. From the web site:

It’s an approach I have noticed on occasion, with painters using Adobe Illustrator and other tools to plan paintings. I’m not completely convinced, but it’s an interesting perspective. The reviews from Detroit News and Metro Times are interesting for their mainstream painting perspectives on digital work.

As an aside, Kim Cascone used the term “post-digital” in his article "The aesthetics of Failure" to describe a movement in computer music that rails against the cleanness of digital audio, and strives to rediscover the material qualities and defects of the binary world. Interesting article.
