Introduction
Brian Knep (American, b. 1968) is a new-media artist who uses science
and technology to create works about the human condition, focusing
in particular on the interconnected and impermanent nature of our
world. His interactive artworks respond to changes in the environment,
sensing and reacting to the people around them. This exhibition
presents four viewer-activated video installations from Knep’s ongoing
Exampla series featuring small creatures with oversize faces and flimsy
limbs that are based on discarded drawings by a three-year-old child.
The artist describes these rudimentary figures as “caricatures of the
endlessly cycling everyman.”
