Proximity is a representation of Sage Sidley’s interdisciplinary Masters of Fine Arts research on the intangible transformation of public and semi-public spaces into digital data-harvesting sites and the proliferation of social surveillance practices. Through the scope of drawing, this thesis exhibition explores our digital and physical spatial interactions and the fluctuant roles of the observer and observed.
Drawing is connected to the body and space; it also represents the artist's relationship to their surroundings. Walking with an application in hand, tapping, pinching and stepping happen congruently. Our experience is manipulated through the map we are individually central to. The body experiences place through infinite planes at once.
