Kenny Schachter Questions “The Hand of The Artist” in Latest Jupiter Show
Kenny Schachter’s latest show at Jupiter on NYC's Lower East Side is a nod to Walter Benjamin’s 1935 essay, The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction. Benjamin argued that mass-produced modes of mechanical reproduction, whether in media or culture, undermines the "aura" of art. Schacter describes Benjamin as a "prescient thinker" who would be aghast at how people today are highly engaged with Internet culture and technology including AI.Schacter is a key figure when it comes to conversations, concepts and material revolving around art and technology, automation and authorship. For his latest show, Art in the Age of Robotic Reproduction, he reflects on Benjamin's essay through a collection of tech-meets-handmade work that question creativity and challenge the "hand of the artist...

For Qualeasha Wood, a glitch can be good. In her latest solo show at Pippy Houldsworth Gallery, the Philly-based artist delves into the glitch as aesthetic and a language for moving through a world where selfhood is constantly mediated and warped. Balancing digital disenchantment with an optimistic eye, Wood puts a spin on body horror conventions in her latest body of work, composed of tapestries, tuftings and video.In Malware, jacquard tapestries turn digital pixels into hand-stitched poetry. Lit by the white-blue glow of a computer screen, Wood emblazons her signature webcam self-portraits with confessions of burnout and online overexposure, taking the form of Python and Java script. Her videos give this code a second life, using it to pixelate and datamosh her body out of recognition.Mo...
