The Map is Not the Territory features two new works that investigate the way knowledge is transferred.

Doppelgänger investigates how knowledge is conveyed, (mis)translated, and transformed across time, space and technology. A still life tableaux becomes a site where meaning is recognized, then reconstituted. Ideas shift through processes of reproduction and time. A hand-made composition is combined with digital scanning and modeling, the resulting sculpture slides between the original and the copy, the recognized and the unknown. Glass functions as both material and metaphor: reflective and elusive; it is extremely difficult to capture digitally, resulting in distortions and voids in data. Failures become metaphors for breakdowns in understanding that shape contemporary life.
