Turbulence Guest Curators: "ICONography" by Patrick Lichty
http://turbulence.org/curators/icon

"(The) development of iconography in the digital signifies far deeper
connections with the human construction of meaning than merely creating
a mental mnemonic to represent a program, dataset, document,
etc."–Patrick Lichty

For thousands of years, from Lascaux to the computer desktop, the
practice of creating iconographic language has been part of human
existence. Lichty considers the role of the icon in computer and human
culture in context with the works shown in this exhibition.

ICONography includes: Babel, Giselle Beiguelmann, Simon Biggs, Justin
Buck, Johannes Blank, Troy Innocent, M. Takeo Magruder, Vincent
Makowski, Mr. K, John Simon, Plasma Studii, Andrei Thomasz, Carlo Zanni,
Jody Zellen, and Ricardo Miranda Zuniger; as well as texts by Lichty,
Alina Serban and Valentina Tanni.
