Jim Campbell parses one of the most fundamental questions regarding the human mind: what enables us to interpret & understand the world around us? The works in this exhibition should defy comprehension. They are either so low resolution or so high resolution that the viewer shouldn't be able to understand the imagery depicted. Campbell’s works, however, activate our most primitive neural & sensory processes for interpreting visual clues. Tapping into these instincts, combined with the human capacity for complex memory & ability to extrapolate, Campbell experiments with digital representation as a metaphor for the transmutation of data into knowledge.
