New works by: Digital Surrogates brings together four artists from across the globe who blur the line between digital interactive media and the fine arts. The show will feature five large digital portraits from a series entitled “13 Most Beautiful Avatars” by Eva and Franco Mattes alongside paintings by Bronwyn Millar and photographs by Pippa Stalker. Together this work translates persuasively into an analysis of self, public perception and possibility. Eva and Franco Mattes, also known in techie circles as 0100101110101101.org are internationally recognised as supreme interventionists. Most of their projects involve different forms of media hacking and bogus culture trafficking. In one instance the duo temporarily hijacked the Nike logo for a public installation in Vienna. In another, they created an entirely fictional artist, only to murder him once he was sufficiently famous. We encourage you to come and experience this event at David Krut Projects. |

If you are interested in what Franco and Eva Mattes have to say about the future of art and many other things, be sure to visit Stock Exchange Of Visions at http://stockexchangeofvisions.org/. This project has a vast collection of video interviews, including Franco and Eva Mattes, Al Gore, Vandana Shiva and many more.
