"Humanity has produced images for millennia: crosshatching is incised in clay, gold is formed into myriad shapes, oil is flung across canvas, LED dances behind paper. Visual culture – art – this simultaneously abstract concept and material reality, is not a mere by-product of identity, but a source and foundation that continually evolves with the needs of its producers and consumers – us. This visual culture, this torch of our very essence, has been jostled over beaten paths and foaming waters for as long as we have created it. Cultural, national, and individual identities have been exchanged hand over fist in our increasingly homogenous global culture."
