Hours: Wed - Sat noon - 6:00 pmMore than 34 Maine Artists Featured in “A Survey of Computer Use in Art” at Harlow Gallery

“A Survey of Computer Use in Art”, an exhibition featuring the work of over 34 Maine artists, will show the various ways in which computers, software or other digital tools are being use to create art. The exhibit will be on view at the Harlow Gallery, located at 160 Water Street in Hallowell from November 6 through 28, 2015 with an opening reception on Friday, November 6 from 5-8 pm. The exhibition and the reception are free and open to the public.

”A Survey of Computer Use in Art” resulted from an open call for Maine artist who use computers, software or other digital tools to make their art and was juried by Petrea Noyes and Harlow staff members, Allison McKeen and Deborah Fahy. Out of 95 submissions, 58 works of art will be included in the final show.

"Computer-generated art or the computer as another tool with which to create? The computer can't make the art, it can only make possible what the artist creates with it.

This exhibition has asked artists throughout the state to submit work that has been conceived or made possible with the use of a computer or even physical parts of a computer. The work
selected for this show is very diverse both in subject, dimensions, construction and color - from very abstract pieces and digital collages to more traditional works.

Once thought of as not a true creative medium, a computer as yet another tool for the artist is gaining acceptance.” - Petrea Noyes
