Humans Connection With Electronics to be Focal Point of New Art Exhibit
Thursday, March 08, 2018
The exhibit is free and open to the public starting on Thursday, March 15 with an opening reception from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
Th Exhibit
The exhibit features a series of sculptural scenarios that playfully observe and explore the connection between humans and their electronic devices.
Statisticians say that approximately 77% of all people in the United States use a smartphone or an iPad, checking their phones about 46 times a day.
"There's that instant satisfaction. Simultaneously, there's an instant connection and a deep distraction,” says Pacheco.
Through his sculptures, Pacheco is thinking about communication, distraction, and connection. He skillfully uses frogs as stand-ins for humans, allowing the viewer to laugh more easily and creating the space where the viewer can then question if they are laughing at themselves.
