Early Home Computers in the work of Lola Dupre #ArtTuesday
Onc day Americans woke up to discover that home computers sat on their desks. These home computers soon brought with them the world wide web, smuggling the entire world into suburban homes from Portland, Maine to Portland, Oregon. Home computers transformed our families, our relationships, our the way we make our decisions. Nowadays we walk around with proof of that complete transformation in the form of smart phones. The work of painter Lola Dupre helps us remember just how strange home computers really are. Here’s more from COLOSSAL:
[Lola Dupre] continues her disorienting manipulations with a pair of early Apple desktops, ships with enough stories to rival a high-rise, and a cow so bloated she needs eight legs to stand. Each work pushes the limits of legibility as limbs and common objects undergo exaggerated distortions.
