“Through a series of color photographs and corresponding light- and sound-cues, Ericka Beckman transformed a room in this gallery into an uncommon environment that demonstrated the connection between technological processes and human learning. Each of the five large C-prints features one of the Nanotech players, hybrid creations of light and motion (captured by prolonged camera exposures), which resemble proposed robot designs from the 50’s. Beckman, a filmmaker, is acutely aware of photographic possibilities, and she explores them with imagination and wit. Beckman stresses the significance of human creative potential, which ultimately supersedes advanced technology.”
