The Art of Digital Addiction
February 3, 2024: Michigan State University’s Broad Art Museum is about to dive deep into the digital rabbit hole with “Kayla Mattes: DOOMSCROLLING.” This new exhibition, featuring handmade weavings by California-based artist Kayla Mattes, is set to explore our complex and often overwhelming relationship with digital culture.
A Weave of Web Wonders
Mattes’ work is a tapestry of the internet age, intertwining elements of memes, gifs, TikToks, and apps into her weavings. Her art captures the essence of our ceaseless quest for information and the digital entrapments that keep us glued to screens. From cats with faces in bread to a Co-Star notification, Mattes’ exhibition playfully yet critically examines how digital culture holds sway over our lives.
