Curated by Jamie Sterns at P.P.O.W. Gallery

June 25 – July 31, 2009

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.
