Retina Misconceptions Allow Boundless Medium
Perception is conditioned.
We assume sight is objective, but every act of seeing is filtered through ingrained biases. Retina misconceptions define the limits of perception, shaping how we interpret images and reinforcing hierarchies that dictate meaning.
Visual Detachment examines these distortions, using digital art to dismantle the structures that shape visual interpretation. Detached from physical form, these works exist outside conventional boundaries: unfixed in scale, surface, or permanence. They do not replicate traditional media but reconfigure the act of seeing itself.
A painting is bound to canvas, a sculpture to weight and form. Digital media shifts this paradigm. It is not constrained by materiality but operates in a fluid state, where images are not representations but autonomous entities. Each work in Visual Detachment exists in this expanded space, where perception is no longer a passive act but an interrogation of what it means to see.
Can an image exist outside of its medium?
Art has long been defined by its material. But when images are no longer tied to physical constraints, what determines their presence?
Visual Detachment explores this shift. These works are not derivatives of the tangible; they exist on their own terms, independent of scale or surface. The collapse of traditional hierarchies reveals that perception is shaped as much by expectation as by what is seen.
Digital art does not wear, erode, or degrade. It exists in a state of constant accessibility, detached from the limits imposed by physicality. Without these constraints, the mechanics of seeing are exposed, revealing that the act of looking has never been neutral, only conditioned.
