'Help the universe be cool'
“Garden of Love’’ (woodblock print), by Patrick Casey, in his show at Galatea Fine Art, Boston, Dec. 4-Jan. 3.
He tells the gallery:
"Speculative narratives in woodcut explore who we are in the age of the Internet and imagine what we may become as the dawn of the post-human era approaches. I am interested in the surge of relationships with technology and the recession of face-to-face interaction. Like our changing notions of intimacy, privacy, and friendship, our ideas of identity, sentience, death and life may become irresolute due to advances in computation technology. Essential is a willing suspension of disbelief combined with the freedom to speculate and invent, as well as a desire to help the universe be cool."
