Rebecca Hastings Art on ELLO
DCN Partners at ELLO Creative Network presents
Australian artist Rebecca Hastings "draws a line between the technological suffusion of first world childhood and environmental neglect .. The children in Hastings’ works are strangely ambiguous: simultaneously of this world and alien, contemporary and futuristic, childlike and ageless. They could be representations of the real, or they could be fantasy humans like those created in the digital quest for verisimilitude — the quest that has given us the term ‘uncanny valley’ to denote the point at which the synthetic human’s fine differentiation from the real causes abjection."
