Biography
Thorben Eggers (Düsseldorf, DE) gives painting contemporary significance by employing the iconography of digital media as subject matter in his paintings. His interest in the relationship between photography and painting, and thus analog and digital, is translated and processed onto his large-scale surfaces. CD-ROMs, SD Cards, DVDs, and other computational memory devices dominate the imagery in his series, Media, which itself acts as a memory device, archiving the nostalgia of recent past. Eggers’ work fundamentally questions how we perceive reality through representation, asserting his work as a kind of simulation of this questioning.
