Reconstructing Nature

Description

This is the Master’s Thesis work of Benjamin R Caras, MFA University of Massachusetts, May 2008. The work focused on an exhibition of artwork and supporting paper. The artwork is a visual discussion of digital production fused with the concept of artist self sufficiently. It asks the viewer to consider the free exchange of ideas within an organic knowledge base, while questioning the closed loop system of capitalism. It reminds us that working together to solve problems is integral to our survival
