Shifting Landscapes: Past, Present, and Future
Being image-makers, each of us observes and records our lives and our environment in our own way. Though differing in approach, the works of three lens-based artists: Anh-Thuy Nguyen, Carlos Rene Pacheco, and Jacinda Russell share a theme of loss, made visible through human interaction in the landscape. The panelists will lead the audiences though their visual journeys from the rural landscapes of the Upper Midwest, USA to the crowded cities in Viet Nam, to the glacial melt at Ilulissat Icefjord in Disko Bay, Greenland. We continually discuss global warming, while our legislators debate on policies to monitor human activities from deforestation, oil drilling, to movement of refugees, etc. Every second we are living, we are creating an impact. Using our visual work as a gateway, the panel discussion will invite dialogues for the audiences to reflect on and share thoughts of impact we have been producing in our daily life.

During my 24/2 residency I started on a larger body of work tentatively titled Artifact. This project is an extension of some of my previous work involving found photographs and a glitch aesthetic. With the advent of digital technology came a de-materialization not only of ourselves but of the photographic medium. Photographs, which in the past were exclusively physical objects shared among friends and family, have been mostly replaced by virtual means of sharing through social media and online photo-streams. The physical photographs in this series...
