Artie Vierkant’s sculptures, digital art, and videos explore the nature of intellectual property, commercialism, and online distribution. In his “Image-Objects” series—from which the exhibition draws its title—he reworks photographs of his exhibitions, turning the physical objects into digital images in an exploration of the transformation and reproducibility of digital images.
