What constitutes a pictorial expression? “Finn Slough and Other Stories” serves as an impetus to probe into the visual production of a picture. In a time when data and algorithms heavily influence the way visuality is constructed– its representation, its truth, its meaning, and its interpretation– Jay Yao navigates three different systems of production: a digital camera, through machine learning software, and a phone camera.
Finn Slough and Other Stories is Yao’s preoccupation with the interrelations between humans and technology. The works, two years in the making, are referent to the potential of technology dominating the ways contemporary visual materials are constructed. As the artist makes sense of such realities, Yao recognizes that the generative context and meaning of the works remain open to interpretations.
