Smarter Today ⓘ

Exhibition Statement

Smarter Today is neither an optimist or pessimist. It offers a human view of futurist landscapes, a view exploring the ideologies and projections of contemporary society. The human landscape is fallible and susceptible to weaknesses.

Alex Fischer creates human landscapes and portraits with respect to a fundamental question of art: "How can we represent the present?" His response is to investigate the ideologies and projections of contemporary society.

The advancement of machine generations has vastly outpaced the human lifespan. People have no idea what the world will be like in 20, 100, or 1000 years. Keeping in mind that our ideas of the future are the quickest ideas to fade, Fischer conglomerates a variety of sources to provide an illustration of human potential, while maintaining consideration of human nature, and individual circumstance.
