Digital Works
600 Images | 60 Artists | 6 Cities
Bangkok | Berlin | London | Los Angeles | Manila | Saigon
 In exploring the possibility of an all internet, simultaneous international exhibition, 6 curators selected 10 artists from each of 6 cities to participate in presenting each city through the eyes of artists, photographers, architects and graphic designers.
The set of 600 (b/w) digital images were reproduced by each city and exhibited simultaneously in June 2005 in London, Berlin, Los Angeles, Manila, Bankok and Saigon.

| Using photographs of icons of the “city”: buildings, signage, electric towers, Aylmer digitally blends them with ink wash painting, a traditional and essentially gestural technique. Luminous and ominous, these visual bon-mots are haunting comments on the struggle against submersion into the engineered: a sensory suggestion of having lost that struggle. |
