Vellum LA is proud to showcase the work of new media artist Nancy Baker Cahill at the festival’s Art & Tech gallery. Baker Cahill uses analog and digital mediums to create immersive drawings that explore power, selfhood, and embodied consciousness, while encouraging viewers to observe hyperobjects through visceral intuition.
Nancy Baker Cahill’s “Slipstream” series is a powerful collection of artworks that draw on the concepts of the literary genre, Slipstream Fiction, inviting viewers to question reality while sparking critical discourse surrounding invented truths. The artist’s process involves mutating graphite paper to form sculptures that are 3D scanned and animated with CG software, resulting in visually stimulating artworks consisting of surreal landscapes that gesture towards the organic, as simulated fictions of botanical forms.
