Party pics: Brian Lo’s Art Reception
Digital artist Brian Lo held an art reception for a body of work called “In Between States” at the Gallery of Hawaii Artists (GoHA) in the Waikiki Landmark Plaza Friday evening. The art wasn’t the kind that you can glance at and quickly take in all it has to offer, instead consisting of many interwoven layers that address themes of interpersonal relationships in our digital culture.
Take a look!
“In Between States” will be up for viewing through September 5, Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m.
Brian Lo’s Art Reception
Digital artist Brian Lo started the body of work for his “In Between States” gallery a few years ago. He collected photos off his friends’ pages on Myspace and Facebook, and distorted them. “They’re about people, mostly,” he said. “Interpersonal relationships, detachment and multitasking… all part of the digital culture that we experience together in the modern age.”
Brian, who was born in Taiwan and studied in Alaska and New York before moving to Hawaii, did this project partly for his MFA thesis at UH Manoa.
Here’s Brian and his mom.
