Pratt Upload (2016) Patterns of the Mind
February 6–March 3, 2016
Today, we are surrounded and constantly bombarded with so many messages in many media—digital and analog, traditional, and state-of-the-art—that the message of any particular medium becomes diluted and interrupted, having to compete for attention with other media. In our post-post-modern epoch McLuhan’s other insight becomes important, which is that once the media does the job of man’s individuation and alteration of his environment by “evoking in us their unique ratios of sense perceptions,” what counts is the ability to choose among them to communicate the message. Medium matters, but only up to a point, as a conduit for the message. Patterns of the Mind is an exhibition about the primacy of the artist’s message, in which any medium is only a tool to carry it across. Patterns of the Mind features international new media artists including Pratt faculty in an exhibition of contemporary digital art and installation based work.
