Gloria Sutton is an art historian and Associate Professor of Contemporary Art History at Northeastern University. During her studio visit at SOE, she talked to us about how scale, particularly in its ratio to the human body, has been made obsolete by the infinite variability of digital images in our contemporary age, and how the term ‘embodiment’ can be a way to problematically think about lived experience. With a focus on network culture in her latest work, she tracks the trajectory of modernist paradigms to today – for example, from medium to interface, originality to iteration, abstraction to compression, assemblage to composite.
