Boston Cyberarts at Atlantic Wharf presents Vast Vistas: Landscape in New Media

BOSTON, MA.- Boston Cyberarts presents its second exhibition in Atlantic Wharf’s new dedicated art gallery – Vast Vistas: Landscape in New Media, an exhibition of work by four artists – Julia Hechtman, Georgie Friedman, Jane Marsching and Luke Strosnider. On view at Atlantic Wharf, 290 Congress Street, Boston, from December 12 through February 10, 2012. Landscapes are more the product of culture than nature. When artists try to reproduce the world in its natural state, they create a vision of how they wish nature would be. This is as true of the Hudson River School as it is of Ansel Adams. How does new media reflect the natural world? One would think that the most technological of art forms would not be a good fit with nature, but as the artists in this exhibition illustrate, new media can reveal an undiscovered depth to nature that a painting, for instance, cannot.
