Curated by Jess Ramsay

HEREart is pleased to present the group exhibition, .gif .jpg .png .tif (gjpt). Titled after common web-based graphics, this exhibition explores the realm of standardized image formats as represented in Internet-based art, websites, videos, applications, and multi- media design. The exhibition will feature web, sound, video and installation artists working within the framework of digital media, online content, and interactive works using the standardized formats of .gif, .jpg, .png, or .tif. The artists, some working digitally, and others only exploring the history of digital media and language, will all be presenting work that either critiques, questions, examines, or celebrates the vast, yet firmly defined, field of digital displays of visual media.

The world of online content and language operates under the assumption that the user will understand…and we do.

Artists:
Jason Huff
Seyhan Musaoglu
Jordan Tate & Adam Tindale
Giselle Zatonyl

On view: March 3 – April 30, 2011
Opening Reception: March 3, 5-7PM

The “Sad Pavilion” CD is now available through iTunes, CDbaby, and our websites.
