VAMPIRE MASQUERADE CR-ROM GAMEZ, 2013
What make this artwork
contemporary? How does this
artwork reflect the people today?
• This artwork is contemporary because it
was made through the use of a
computer.
• The artist shows the issues on online
consumptions that is happening today
in our modern society.
Petra Cortright (artist) uses digital and
analog tools to create her paintings in
order to explore issues of online
consumption. The above painting,
rendered on aluminum, was composed
entirely on a computer. “This process
allows the artist to make endless
modifications until the moment the
digital file is translated into real space,”
Artsy writes. Cortright’s past projects
have centered around YouTube,
mimicking memes and home videos.

GUNPOWDER ON PAPER

Cai Guo-Qiang (artist) likes to experiment

with gunpowder, initiating “ignition events”
(read: explosions) that leave traces of an
image behind, such as the work above. His
series of ignitions for “The Century with
Mushroom Clouds: Project for the 20th
Century” (1995-96) was conducted at
symbolic locations across the U.S. to, as Artsy
quotes Guo-Qiang explaining, “depict the
‘face’ of the nuclear bomb that represents
modern-day technology.”

What make this artwork contemporary?
How does this artwork reflect the people
today?
• This artwork is contemporary because
the artist describes how the internet
affects the traditional objects.
• People now a days do not value
traditional traditions because of modern
technology.
A fun fact about Parker Ito‘s works?
Relying on the reflective quality of 3M
Scotchlite fabric, his work resists
photographic documentation. In fact,
it often takes on a new shape and
appearance when taken out of the
gallery space and translated to a
computer screen. “I am passionate
about the Internet, and making work
about the effects that the Internet
has had on traditional objects is the
most honest thing I can do,” Ito has
said.
