No competing with high-tech and rapid methods of reproduction.
Ethics, ecology, concern.
Pure imag(e) (ing).
Prevention against the inflation of the image
INFORMATION
Human rules and intuition versus parameters.

What is an image today?
DATA = IMAGE = DATA

Multimedia is something prehistoric,
an experience in which all senses are activated.

Imperial Images is a series of paintings that were made on the basis of rules.
The images are constructed in an almost mathematical manner. Every action is like a move on a chessboard.

Works such as Ghost, in turn, are physical rather than mental and are diametrically opposed to the Imperial Images.

Device is an animation film, entirely made up of 256 (32 x 8) cobalt blue cubes, all of which are individually animated.
Every cube has its own life, yet, throughout the overall picture, accidental connections and structures emerge.

Detoxification is a sculptural tribute to the computer pioneers of the 50s and 60s.
These were often not included in the canon of art history because they worked with tools developed for the military.

The drawings are the result of a daily drawing practice. The titles refer to the date they were made. The drawings will be collected in the book MEDITATIONS, which is ultimately destined to land on the bedside tables of hotels.

Darwinian Symphony is an animated film that reflects on an indefinable 'deep time'.
The creatures are composed of elementary geometric forms, but vary greatly depending on their nature, function, and therefore evolutionary purpose.
The creatures also refer to the work The Garden of Earthly Delights by Hieronymus Bosch, which presents a wealth of obscure settings.

The soundscape that can be heard in the first room will be published on vinyl in a limited edition later this year.

 Bart Stolle (° 1974, Eeklo) is working on a complex body of work that mainly consists of paintings, drawings and animated films. In an age in which everyone is becoming overwhelmed by sensory, and more specifically digital, stimuli, Stolle opts for lentor. His animated films are drawn frame by frame and his paintings consist of carefully selected and often geometrical units. He analyses similarities between the logic of the computer and the human mind. Many of his works formally refer both to twentieth century modernism as well as computer language.

Bart Stolle has previously had solo exhibitions at S.M.A.K. in Ghent, Ryan Lee Gallery in New York, De Brakke Grond in Amsterdam and STUK in Leuven. He has also participated in group exhibitions at Kunsthal KAdE in Amersfoort, M HKA in Antwerp, the Prague Biennale, BUDA Arts Centre in Kortrijk, MOCA Museum of Contemporary Art in Shanghai, the Academy of Fine Arts in Tiajin, De Loketten of the Flemish Parliament in Brussels, Telic Gallery in Los Angeles, Centre for Contemporary Art in Warsaw, Laznia Centre for Contemporary Art in Gdansk, and many others.
