POST exhibit is presenting Peep Show, an installation by Gail Scheuring.

The bright hues represent the garishness of artificial light seen in store fluorescent or “technological” light.
Although this installation is devoid of the female …

Bonifacho’s oil paintings look to mimic the way computer viruses and worms affect our technology by creating scrambled works of letters and messages. Through it, he has managed to create works of art that embody the chaos left by the viruses.
What I think is fantastic about this new exhibit is its ability to …
