Digital Memory Device

Uri Davillier

    My current body of work involves finding relationships and meanings among three distinct modes of production:  the hand made, industrial, and digital.  As a craftsman, passionate about glass, I am compelled by hand-made objects and the skills required to produce them.  As a technician, my interest in manufacturing and fascination with the tools of industry drives many of my conceptual and aesthetic choices.  As a technophile, I am also drawn to the potentiality of the digital domain to expand the scope of human endeavors through artistic renderings.  In this way I strive to illuminate the subtle and often mutually exclusive delineations between the temporal and the atemporal, the physical and the ethereal, the tangible and the intangible.
