Syndrome’s “I Learned It By Watching You!” is an observation of the effects of mass media on the public. The show’s name was inspired by a popular, Reagan era PSA that aired on American television during the late 1980s. The concept behind each piece of art will range from playful satire to intense realism; each representing a different take on the influence media has on our lives and opinions. The execution is an intricate mixed media process bridging traditional art forms with digital tools.
The pieces begin as sketches that are later digitized and meticulously retraced. Additional elements are then created in 3D and retraced in the same manner. All of these retraced elements are then composited together and output as silk screens and transferred to wood panels. Syndrome has long embraced computer technology as another tool in the creative process, and with this new exhibit, they will be merging traditional media with state of the art technology.
