"Interzone 001: An Exhibition of Digital Prints by Laura De Decker"
2007-04-25 until 2007-07-19
Red Head Gallery
Toronto, ON, CA Canada

Interzone 001, an exhibition of digital prints by Laura De Decker, traces her continuing aesthetic investigations into colour through computation. Laura De Decker employs both empirical and analytical approaches by moving back and forth between software use and development. She combines the computer’s capacity to process and store information with the human ability to capture qualitative data as sensitive, quantitative data by writing software programs to generate visual material that can be observed, manipulated and collected.

Although De Decker’s creative process may seem scientific it requires a less stringent use of scientific method -- if such a method can still be described this way-- than is normally associated with science. The variation between perceived opposites, such as science and art, and the mind and the body, intrigue her from many disciplinary standpoints. She refers to this untitled mess of ideas as the Interzone.

Laura De Decker is an artist based in Waterloo, Ontario and a member of the Red Head Gallery in Toronto. She earned an MFA in Visual Arts at the University of Victoria and is also an alumna of the University of Toronto and Sheridan Institute of Technology and Advanced Learning. De Decker received an Emerging Artist Grant from the Ontario Arts Council in 2006.
