Matt rogers

Matthew Rogers’s work depicts mysterious figures and colorful coruscated landscapes with their defining features replaced by what appear to be fingerprints or crazed barcodes. Taken from one perspective, the repetition of pattern across people and environment offers a vision of a shared life force. Viewed from a different slant, the patterns become malevolent depictions of the propensity of data to replace what’s real with what’s quantifiable.
