Jack Warne skillfully bridges two contrasting timeframes – the futuristic realm of technology and a preserved archival past. By merging photographs from his personal history with discovered and self-created materials, Warne crafts a fresh collection using both traditional analog techniques and innovative technologies such as drawing, 3D rendering, and industrial printing. The end result is a captivating presentation that combines images, materials, and sounds, with each element in motion and interconnected with its counterpart. Warne pushes the boundaries of technology by utilizing specially designed augmented reality filters to expand the images even more. He invites this innovative technology to transcend the realm of physical artwork and immerse viewers in a dynamic, multi-sensory encounter. Through this approach, he establishes a connection between the tangible nature of the objects, the observer, and the hidden realities concealed beneath the surface.
