Flight Into The Unknown explores the connections between Western art history, imaging technologies and networked cultures.
Through the use of 3D imaging, drawing machines and AI networks, this exhibition questions how we understand historical genres of art and how they inform our contemporary view of the world.
Nicholas Aloisio-Shearer is an artist whose practice is concerned with the digital conditions of contemporary life. His practice engages with the cultural functions of imaging technologies and examines how networked cultures make use of the history of representation. He has exhibited in a number of galleries including UNSW Galleries and Milani Gallery, and artist-run spaces including First Draft (Sydney) and Bus Projects (Melbourne). Nicholas graduated with Honours from a Bachelor of Design in Photography and Situated Media at UTS in 2014 and in 2019 completed a Masters of Fine Art (Research) at UNSW Art and Design.
