Her research is framed by a question about the reconstitution of photographic surface within digital media. <br>The 'skin' of the Widget Art Gallery gave Bennett the opportunity to continue her investigation of surface in digital images in a new way. <br>The photographic image has shifted from a literal surface – a print – to an interconnected ephemeral surface, a skin-scape: the WAG; reconstituted via screens and code. Bennett was working with detailed images of human skin as a metaphor for surface transformed into an effort to 'see under the hood', to gain insight into how 'surface' operates within digital media.<br>Artist's website <a href="http://www.alisonbennett.com.au/" target="_blank">http://www.alisonbennett.com.au/</a><br><br>About the WAG:<br><br>Due to our needs that seem to be increasingly
handheld, WAG was born on 2009! The Widget Art Gallery is a mini single
art gallery room fitting into people's pocket (suitable for all mobile
platforms). Every month, the WAG hosts a solo digital art exhibition
related to its dynamic site-specific context. So the WAG works both as a
sort of kunsthall showing temporary exhibitions and also as museum
conserving all the past shows inside an online archive that creates a
permanent collection.<br>WAG website <a href="http://www.chiarapassa.it/TheWidgetArtGallery.html" target="_blank">http://www.chiarapassa.it/TheWidgetArtGallery.html</a><br><br>-- <br><div dir="ltr">Chiara Passa<br><a href="mailto:chiarapassa@gmail.com" target="_blank">chiarapassa@gmail.com</a><br><a href="http://www.chiarapassa.it" target="_blank">http://www.chiarapassa.it</a><br><br></div>
