Book Overview

by Robert Hobbs (Author)

Cutting-edge contemporary: art at the intersection of painting and digital media.

Future Ruins explores the cutting-edge vision of Chris Dorland in his debut monograph, the definitive introduction to the acclaimed artist's dystopian digital aesthetic: a fusion of digital media and painting, exploring themes of technological decay and post-capitalist aesthetics. With a groundbreaking text by leading art historian Robert Hobbs, this richly illustrated volume captures Dorland's hybrid process--blending digital distortion, surveillance aesthetics, and glitch technologies into a singular, cinematic language. This is a vital document of a practice at the edge of image culture and collapse and is essential for collectors, critics, and curators of postdigital, new media, and contemporary painting.
