Abstract
This online poster is an investigation into the role of social media imagery, with specific reference to Instagram and communication channels between artists in various locations. As a visual artist, I have been conducting a series of ongoing Instagram projects, including one titled, “The Continual Instagram Project,” which presents an image of a painting that has been over painted sixty-nine times and presented only as an Instagram image, never to be seen in actuality. The other project is titled, “Hard Rubbish #2,” which is ongoing and presents two decades of studio painted images in the context of the notion of art being Hard Rubbish Instagram posts. I am particularly interested in how contemporary painters may use everyday technology as a forum for presenting images seen only through Instagram technology.
