The Art of Form and Code

"As much as I love purely digital work, I also love the appeal of physical objects and the context of a real-world gallery gives me an opportunity to indulge my passion for such things

"As much as I love purely digital work, I also love the appeal of physical objects and the context of a real-world gallery gives me an opportunity to indulge my passion for such things. A physical object makes its presence known in the space resulting in a relationship between you as a viewer and the work." - Brendan Dawes

Created for the Herbert W. Franke Tribute, You, Me and the Machine (2022) creates typographic compositions using the underlying code which drives the work, reacting to the physical distance of the viewer to the work itself. The further the viewer is from the work, the more obfuscated and larger the text. As the viewer approaches nearer, the composition becomes clearer and longer parts of the underlying source code are revealed. Through this work, Dawes aims to pay homage to Franke and in particular, his concept of the “social communication circle in art” and the circular nature of the work and the artist.
