PICT is a group exhibition featuring works that explore new perspectives on technology and computer-based art through digitally inspired paintings.

The personal computer has had a dramatic impacton contemporary society, perhaps no less influential than the concept fo perspective during the Renaissance.  Technology has not only revolutionized our way of performing tasks, but has also changed our perception, providing us with a new landscape, a new aesthetic.  This exhibition of artists presents the relationship between technological advances and traditional painting.

Artists Matthew Antezzo, Pedro Barbeito, Miltos Manetas, and Julain Opie draw inspiration from the technological tools of computers, citing them as both vehicles for expression and fodder for new subject matter. Jeff Elrod, Carl Fudge, Wayne Gonzales and Monique Prieto each design the composition and the palette of their paintings and then morph the reality of an image through the use of the computer.  PICT also includes work such as computer-generated oil-jet paintings by Jack Pierson, a projected "virtual" painting on DVD by Jeremy Blake, and works by precursory pioneer of digital painting, Peter Halley.
