![“The Casebearer: Recent Work by Dave Greber” is closing soon, have you had the chance to stop by and see it yet?
The exhibition features a selection of immersive video art works, projections and sculptural objects by New Orleans artist @davaygrebere. Greber consistently pushes the boundaries of the role technology plays in 21st century artmaking, while exposing technology’s inherent quirks and pitfalls.
In “The Casebearer 2.0,” Artificial Intelligence generated narrators tell the mystic poem of a plaster bagworm moth’s life cycle as the insect transverses the ceiling of the artist’s studio. The creature is a metaphor for self-sufficiency and grace in the face of precarity as the narrative diverges into an alien nature documentary or self-help video.
Make sure to stop by before May 29 to explore this unique exhibition!
