Curator's Note
“Simon Denny’s striking silk-screen print offers a conceptual 'virtual hedge against extinction' by immortalizing the nearly lost King Island brown thornbill as a proto-AR avatar. Blending ecological urgency with tech-forward aesthetics, this limited edition piece is perfect for anchoring a contemporary study or modern living space. Its thought-provoking commentary on the 'mirror world' adds a profound layer of digital history and conceptual depth to any collection.”
About the Artist
Simon Denny (*1982, New Zealand) takes a critical look at the cultural impact of new technologies and the people that drive them through his sculptures, installations, and videos, often appropriating material from tech culture to deconstruct its aesthetic values.
