Arno Beck: Screengrabs
As the exhibition title suggests, Screengrabs, attempts to capture the transient and intangible nature of digital media, by bringing 鈥渟creen-based impressions into physical, haptic existence.鈥� In order to transfer on-screen material into physical space, Beck begins by creating a draft on a computer. This preliminary work helps the artist determine the best way to translate digital images onto paper using traditional modes of production. Some of Beck鈥檚 frequent artmaking techniques include woodblock printing, pen and ink drawing, acrylic painting, in addition to less traditional ones, like using a typewriter to create photographic black and white drawings. Beck鈥檚 interplay between the handmade and the digital, seeks to 鈥渉umanize technology and welcome the glitches of the handmade - the error is part of the beauty.鈥�
