Micke Tong's The Spectacle
Make Way for the Digital Art Movement
project: gallery LA and Rising Artists Series is pleased to present The Spectacle, the first Los Angeles solo exhibition by Micke Tong. His virtual art techniques reveal a new breakthrough for this generation's contemporary digital art movement.
Spectacle, says Debord, "is an opium, that allows us to sleep walk, as if drugged, stumbling blindfolded through a devolving landscape.... while cocooned in artificiality and illusion; mind-numbed by cyber media into passive stupefied spectators." - Guy Dubord
Artist Micke Tong resides in San Francisco, California. He is a graduate of the Academy of Art University San Francisco with a Bachelor Degree in Computer Arts. A member of the former purist art group, Multi Media Art Collective (MMAC) and founder of The National Alliance of Art Scenarios, Tong's work is a visual metaphor of cultural knowledge.
In The Spectacle, Micke Tong shares his skewed visions and tactfully touches on a variety subjects from interpretations of human landscapes to politics and religion. His art is a dreamscape of exotic cultures, personal truths and elevated realities with an equal measure of sophistication.
