Using the computer monitor as a window onto the landscape of digital culture, datapaintings (2003 – 2004) manipulate and re-present satellite imagery, telemetry, data flows, stock graphs and corporate logos. Conscious of encaustic paint’s 2500-year history, these multi-paneled works fuse historical content with contemporary issues while skating the line between representation and abstraction.
