I am proud beyond words to be presenting this work at DE SARTHE, a gallery that has built possibly the most exciting roster of digital artists of any gallery in the international art community today.

I have been working on these pieces for the past year: a set of sculptures that collage electromechanical pinball components, and a suite of video game levels. I will say more about the work in the days to come. I think they’re fresh, I think they're funny, I think they're a bit heartbreaking.

So: yes! If this art has a social purpose (a big if!), it's to give the user an experience reframing their perspective on their own, with the hope that this toolset remains with the viewer to be applied in real-life contexts.

... when they walk the viewer out to the boundaries of their enclosing system, and show off the view from there.

This is not really a unique tactic! Reframing is a system. I think most "systems art" (expansive definition: art built in conceptual systems à la LeWitt; art built in technological systems à la Molnar) are at their best ...

The act of "reframing" is deliberately underlined in my art. It's underlined REALLY heavily, because it's a formal mechanism in my art and it's the subject matter of my art, and the subject matter points back to that formal mechanism.

Hi Nora!

I think you nailed the whole point just in the way that you phrased your question.
