"The artwork is digitally produced and exhibited as prints, videos, projections, and books. The underlying theme of the work is from an interest in digital and physical environments, and the possibilities of a post-screen culture. There is a trend in technology that tries to create the perception of physical spaces in digital realms, like virtual reality, as well as putting digital objects into physical spaces, like 3d projections and rapid fabrication tools. The integration of digital and physical spaces necessitates a post-screen culture and our pursuit is to showcase and stimulate more imaginative potentials for the visual experience of these spaces."
-Graham Livingston from his 2018 interview Rising Stars from the South West Side with Voyage Chicago.
