Future Paradise: Landscapes of Digital Existences at Arts Fort Worth. Dates: July 5 – August 24, 2024
Via the exhibition statement:
In her series Future Paradise: Landscapes of Digital Existences, Emilie Duval explores the intersection of the physical and digital, casting a critical yet whimsical light on our algorithm-driven reality. The series juxtaposes the optimism of mid-century aesthetic ideals with the starkness of our current technological landscape.
Duval’s work is an assemblage of contrasting textures and mediums, including acrylics, ink, marker, collages, and spray paint. These elements highlight the tension between organic life and digital intrusion. By incorporating generative AI to craft her collages, she questions the authenticity of our perceived realities and challenges the manufactured “facts” presented to us.
