On and On
As immensely connected and algorithmically-driven virtual spaces rapidly capture the attention of vast populations worldwide, people are seemingly becoming more alienated and drawn to these digital constructs as they disengage from the real and physical. The work explores this growing phenomenon, reimagining the inner psyche of an individual that is lost in an altered time-space dimension of an omnipresent digital bubble.
Jaxton Su (SG)
Working between the mediums of painting, installation and video art, Jaxton Su (b.1988, Singapore) attempts to bridge metaphorical parallels between the sublimity of nature with the unfathomable human mind in his experimental works. He is currently interested in exploring the spatial possibilities pertaining to private and virtual realms in our hyperconnected world. He holds a Master of Fine Art from The Glasgow School of Art (UK) and was recently awarded the StudyUK Alumni Award in Culture and Creativity. Notably, he has exhibited at National Gallery Singapore, Clydebank Museum and Art Gallery (UK) and Jangsaengpo Culture Depot (KR), amongst others. He has also presented internationally in a wide array of festivals, residencies and exhibitions including Lanzarote Art Festival, Taiwan Annual, Geumgang Nature Art Biennale, LightNight Liverpool, SIM Residency Iceland, and Art Safiental.
