Steven Dickie
Thursday 1 July - Saturday 31 July 2010
Society’s relationship with technology is the focus of Dickie’s practice - specifically, through examining systems and technologies that are rooted within societies psyche. This is manifest through a practice spanning sculpture, sound, drawing and digital media and often using functionality, environmental response and narrative structure.
Current research explores human knowledge (gathering, storage and usage) and society's potential future. As knowledge expands through time, any attempt to amass it completely should, therefore, only be achievable at the end of time. Dickie seeks a means to compile all knowledge (past, present and future) before the end of time so that society can fulfill its potential. For this to be achievable we need tools for consuming and processing more information. We need a trajectory to all knowledge and we need ways to see the future. This has seen the development of various tools to enable the gathering and processing of greater volumes of information from all points in time.
