PAUL BERGER: THE MACHINE IN THE WINDOW

Paul Berger is nationally recognized for pioneering computer generated imagery. This mid-career retrospective exhibition traces his growth and progress toward the use of computer imagery from his early black and white, in-camera manipulated "Mathematics Series" (1976-78), to his latest use of the TARGA graphics system and large ink jet color prints. Rod Slemmons, Associate Curator of Photography, Seattle Art Museum, organized this exhibition which focuses on Berger's exploration of contemporary imagery and narration manifested through abstraction,juxtaposition, and automation.
