The internet has transformed the way we communicate,
interact and perceive ourselves and others. Image Search
presents the work of thirteen artists who use the internet as
the primary source for reference and research in their
image-making process. Open source information and
images are being used by these artists to create work that
addresses issues of identity, psychology, politics, the
environment and history. Our collective visual culture
is being transformed by the internet and artists as
image-makers are not only using it as a new medium,
they are transcending and subverting its potential.
Often treated as a living organism, the internet’s evolution
is constant and its impact immeasurable. These artists
harness and exploit the nature of this new technology,
which has become in a matter of a few decades, central to the way we interact.
