Ormond Art Studios were delighted to host our 2023 Graduate Resident Exhibition.
Email Shaped Clouds is a work in progress by Aoife Ní Dhuinn, loosely exploring ideas around language in the digital age, skeuomorphic design and Laurie Anderson’s 1982 album Big Science. Thinking about what we think about when we think of the words: mouse, window and cloud, these works reflect on how digital technologies have shaped the English language. Through the use of objects whose words hold double meanings and appropriating lyrics from a song written from the perspective of a computer, Ní Dhuinn is beginning to pose questions about our growing connections to digital reality.
Aoife Ní Dhuinn is a Dublin based visual artist interested in culture, words and existential feelings. Ní Dhuinns work explores the boundaries between digital and physical spaces through recontextualising digital ephemera. Ní Dhuinn’s expanded practice clinically examines the absurd relationships we have with digital technologies through a satirical lens,manifested as manipulated images, artefact-like objects and moving image. Taking inspiration from post-internet art and culture, Ní Dhuinn’s work blurs the line between image and object, and aims to create uncanny spaces through clinical installations.
It has been fantastic to have Aoife with us here in Ormond and we were delighted to facilitate her residency exhibition here in the Project Space.
