Counterparts · UVA

bitforms gallery is pleased to announce Counterparts, UVA's first solo exhibition with the gallery. The London-based studio presents paintings, reliefs, and sculptures that explore the relationship between technology and culture. The exhibition features several key works exploring how technology shapes perception. New Dawn invites the viewer to consider how technology mediates our experience of reality through light-based sculptures with concealed LEDs projecting patterns onto slats. A Distant View is a series of reliefs inspired by the images of the Moon's surface provided by the Lunar Orbiter missions of 1966-67, reimagining NASA's data reconstruction process while revealing gaps in incomplete data through shadow and light. The Flux Paintings employ thermochromic coatings activated by heat patterns generated from resistor grids, creating self-painting effects. The Etymologies is a series of geometric canvases illuminated by transitioning text, drawing from theorists including Barthes and Proust. The Continuum series studies wave-particle duality through orchestrated LED grids creating shifting light patterns within hexagonal canvases.
