As a “one woman 3D development team” (who also has a full-time day job and a small baby), Debbie Ding started building a colossal solo gallery. With a plan to cover it with images of her past works from wall to wall, it is reminiscent of the national pavilions seen at the Venice Biennale. Over time, Ding turns the works into portals through which one can enter into parallel universes, where the works can expand into alternate readings of themselves. The “autobiographical” stories told are a mix of fact and fiction. As an artist experimenting with different media, but working mainly with digital media, what does it mean to digitise one’s work?
Held in the Wikicliki exhibition space, Ding will stage a series of conversations with invited members of the public that explore what the process of what presenting artworks in the digital form is like in a time of the pandemic and social distancing. What sorts of “translation” are required? What role does tech literacy play in this exchange? What exactly is gained or lost in the progress of our digital selves?
