Pop Gun and HEART are pleased to present Spitting Image, an exhibition of digital prints by 16 artists. 

Working in mediums initially designed in service of network efficiency, in formats optimized for online distribution, the artists in the exhibition create friction through a range of provisional punk strategies. Intelligent digital operations are complicated through poetic incoherence; compression is favored over fidelity. 

Operating under conditions of network critique, documentation distribution itself acts as medium. The “spitting image,” produced through AI logics, rendered and exported, reveals itself only through reproduction: images of glossy prints taped in a dimly lit, anonymous space.

Always, documentation serves as an exhibition’s digital double. In Spitting Image, it becomes the sole method of viewing the show. Pics or it didn’t happen. Spitting Image is on view forever, exemplifying a DIY ethos that understands the realities of living in a world where images rule.
