The Inside of a Square: Blake Dearman

27 April - 20 May 2023
Overview

Emerging artist Blake Dearman works across a variety of different mediums, including photography, video, and sound. His work incorporates traditional methods of image-making together with more contemporary approaches such as data visualisation and digital synthesis. A background in electrical engineering, paired with an interest in existential philosophy serve as the grounding point for Blake seeking to understand the role of technology in shaping the way that people interact with the world.

The Inside of a Square contemplates a rudimentary shape, which nearly never forms naturally. Its straight lines and perfect dimensions are based on a mathematical ideal, rather than a reflection of something existing.

 

This video was produced using technologies such as photogrammetry and data visualisation, while the accompanying audio track combines audio synthesis with field recordings.
