Aaron Scheer
„The tension between analogue and digital or between materiality and immateriality is one of my major themes. It is a natural transit from classical contemporary painting with analogue materials to a new contemporary painting with digital materials.“ – Aaron Scheer
Created on a variety of digital devices, Scheer’s works utilise the digital realm to combine elements of collage, photography and painterly technique to expand what painting can be and mean today. He uses painting techniques to create digital works on his computer, mimicking the use of physical media through various brushes and paint effects. Through his art, Scheer questions the idea of the human in technology and the technological in the human, thereby allowing him to explore the challenges that an increasingly digitised world presents, such as virtual matter, perceptions of the real, automated production, big data, technocracy and contemporary working cults.
