Artist Statement: Gabriel Shuldiner

January 14, 2010 · Posted in Artists

Bigger, harder, better, faster, stronger, more production, more consumption and even more waste: extreme information overload and material excess… Technology promotes this rush, the idea that everyone needs to be constantly in a rush. In a world fast becoming more virtual and transient with each hour, minute and second, I believe in the ever-more importance of the physical. The ‘object’ as a marker of time: a reminder of ourselves, of our own physicality, temporality and transitory nature of existence. While we learn to connect and re-connect in new and different [electronic] ways, hopefully we can remember to slow down a bit, as well…
