What a prominent contemporary artist reveals about painting in the digital agean era characterized by simulation and hyperreality.At the height of postmodernism, just as the digital world was becoming a reality, Peter Halley revitalized painting by affiliating his work with sociology and science fiction. Employing lowbrow, commercial mediafluorescent colors and RollATex, an additive used to surface suburban architecturehe debunked paintings high art connotations. Deconstructing early and midtwentiethcentury geometric abstraction, he transposed its rectangles into structures he referred to as cells and prisons. He then connected these with straight lines, or conduits, to imaginatively access outside forces.Halley has met many of the challenges posed by the information age and French poststructuralism by situating his painting on the divide separating analog and digital worlds. Robert Hobbss monograph analyzes Halleys geometric art in relation to the opportunities provided by the internet, the aesthetic possibilities afforded by Photoshop, Jacques Derridas deconstruction, Michel Foucaults and Jean Baudrillards sociological theories, and the conundrums presented by both science fiction and physics.
