Rachel Rossin: Untitled 40 x 30 cm
In her artistic practice, Rachel Rossin explores the potential of virtual reality’s meeting with painting. By including visual phenomena from the internet such as video games, computer stock illustrations, and programmed holograms she manages to approach our contemporary digital reality and combine it with the physical and bodily elements of visual art. She uses computer programs to displace figurations, their meanings, and expressions. The digital consciousness has become a prolongation of lived life and it is no longer simple to divide the two. Rachel Rossin combines and assembles them and seeks out what potentials arise for new image cultures.
Rachel Rossin (1987 US) lives and works in New York. She has exhibited at the Whitney Museum of Art, US; Emerson Contemporary Museum of Art, US; KW Museum of Art, Berlin; GAMeC Museum of Bergamo, IT; Huyndai Museum X New Museum, KR; Louvre Museum Auditorium, FR; Chrysler Museum of Art, US; Forum D’art Contemporain, BE, and Kiasma Contemporary Museum of Art, FI, among others. She has received several awards such as The New York Community Trust: Robert A. Levinson and Patricia S. Levinson Arts Achievement Award, Prix Ars Electronica Award, Peter S. Feed Foundation, and Forbes 30 under 30: Art and Design.
