“I found the relationship between the Erewhon Hailey Bieber Strawberry Glaze Skin Smoothie and the Sherry Shriner orgone blaster to be productive and interesting.”

Sherry Shriner was the anonymous leader of a prolific online cult in the MySpace age. She was the proprietrix of countless websites scrying accounts of demon-alien-reptiles walking among us and recipes for DIY orgone blasters, which if you didn’t know are blocks of sparkling resin capable of intercepting insidious spiritual electromagnetic forces, like Wi-Fi. A cupcake tin is ideal, but smoothie cups work just fine.

Such were the wayside convictions of the aughts, when pseudoscience, obsession, and conspiracy inexorably collided with the internet. But to what extent can we metabolize it all, let alone exercise free will? In the latest installment for our Artists at Work series, Alex Heilbron (@a.p.heilbron) spoke with fellow artist Scott Benzel (@scottbenzel) about Shriner, AI and Ouija boards, the ouroboric nature of information networks, and the “disembodied voice” that breaches the technological unknown.

Alex Heilbron: Opening is on view at OCHI Los Angeles through February 14. The gallery is open Wednesday - Saturday, 11 - 6.

Alex Heilbron’s paintings explore the tension between the logical order of systems and the fray of their collapse. Drawing upon design histories and the visual flotsam of our collective cultural cache, Heilbron manipulates found images at a granular level and translates forms into vinyl stencils and layered onto canvas. The surfaces are both meticulously handwrought and governed by technological constraint.

OCHI is pleased to present Opening, a solo presentation by Los Angeles-based artist Alex Heilbron. Heilbron’s paintings explore the tension between the logical order of systems and the fray of their collapse. Drawing upon design histories and the imagistic flotsam of our collective cultural cache, Heilbron digitally manipulates found images at a granular level. The resulting mediated forms are translated into vinyl stencils and layered onto canvas, building surfaces that are meticulously handmade yet constrained by digital systems. An opening reception will be held at the gallery on Saturday, January 17 from 6-8 PM. taken in Los Angeles, California by @a.p.heilbron
