Computer Age Generated Art

This morning the New York times reported on the The New Museum of Contemporary Art's next month inaugural triennial exhibit of an international sampling of 50 artists who were born after 1976 and raised in the computer age. The show "Younger Than Jesus” will begin to examine the visual culture this generation has created to date.

In order to select the artists for this show the curators relied on their Internet savvy, reaching out to 150 writers, teachers, artists, critics, curators and bloggers worldwide, for recommendations. From around 600 suggested names, the team including Adjunct Curator; Massimiliano Gioni, and Laura Hoptman cut the group down to the group to 50 artists spaning mediums from painting, drawing, photography, film, animation, performance, installation, dance, Internet-based works, and video games.
Kerstin Brätsch, a 30-year-old German-born artist and a part of a collective called Das Institute who will show computer-generated images that “can become anything."

“Younger Than Jesus” will capture the signals of an imminent change, identify emerging stylistic trends and provide the general public with an in-depth look at how the next generation conceives of our world. Revealing new languages, technologies and attitudes, the exhibition will comprise a portrait of the agents of change at the beginning of the twenty-first century.
