Margaret Seymour is a Sydney-based artist who works with a range of media including sculptural objects, video and sound. Each of her artworks forms part of a larger project which examines the idea of technological change, specifically the impact these changes are having on more traditional ideas of space, time and bodies.

While it is often argued that electronic space is replacing or annihilating real space, Margaret is interested in the overlap between the two. Her works are designed to test the temporal, cultural and/or social characteristics of these two spatial modes and the relationships between them.

REMOTE SENSING comprises a series of wire frame images of landforms I have never seen. Each landform has been ‘imagined’ into existence using topographical maps and 3D modelling software. This labour intensive process produces images with a remarkable level of detail. At the same time however each image of the landscape is abstracted – transformed into an intricate tracery of lines and planes.

The conventions of traditional landscape painting – foreground, middle ground and background – are also incorporated into each image prompting the viewer to consider both geometric and pictorial codes.
