“Digital Expressionism” at The Suzanne Geiss Company, New York is a group exhibition of new works by Ben Wolf Noam, Greg Parma Smith, and Korakrit Arunanondchai, exploring the half-life of material art objects in an age dominated by digital forms. The exhibition is on view through October 19.

Digital tools can both mimic material phenomena and become art historical reference points. These three artists trace image manipulation devices like paint-brush, gradient, and alpha-mask to produce works that translate emerging vocabularies of digital image production back into analog painting and sculpture. Arunanondchai, Parma Smith, and Wolf Noam explore questions about the heroic artist and the universality of expression:

-Is the laptop hermit heir to the Modernist ingénue?
-Is the blackbox of technology today’s eccentric genius?
-Does algorithmic precision realize or relegate the promise of a common visual language?
