A digital art collection that connects Impressionism to digital animation.
Artist
About the exhibition
First Impressions connects Impressionism to digital animation. Pointillist textures meet Muybridge’s motion studies, forming loops that reimagine 19th-century experiments with light, color, and time. These works reflect how new technologies - from paint tubes, to camera shutters, and pixels - reshape both human perception, and thus, artistic practice.
This series grows from over a decade of mendezmendez's ongoing collage practice: remixing history, focusing on perception and the everyday. The animations are simple on the surface, yet rooted in defiance and experimentation; they form a dialogue across centuries between artists who sought to capture the fleeting, and his own search for a digital language that continues their work.
