Are we wounded by technology or blissfully blessed to be assisted by the cybersphere? When we peer into that screen, the glowing godkiller, that Edensnake seducer, are we rewiring our brains or surrendering our culture? As we stare on and on, what becomes of our emotions and actions when thought alone is enough to sustain us? Is the material world temporary when we are interacting online? The Futuregaze will set us free or lock us up for eternity and two painters working in Southern California hold a mirror up to the evolution of souls transfigured, transformed and transmogrified in these days of a sputtering information war. And they are terrific painters too. New work by Justin Bower and Randi Matushevitz looks dystopically at the rendered face in 2019 in FUTUREGAZE at Coagula Curatorial.
