Johanna Love's Lecture

Johanna Love’s lecture offered me a fresh perspective on the intersection of art and technology. Through her use of scanning, photography, and printmaking, she captures images that blur boundaries and evoke subtle sensations, presenting abstract themes like time and memory in a tangible and impactful way. Her work feels both intricate and striking, creating a balance between complexity and accessibility. What struck me most was her approach to uncovering beauty in overlooked details through interdisciplinary methods, such as using a microscope to explore the microcosmic world. This reminded me that meaningful art doesn’t always need grand themes—sometimes the smallest, most ordinary elements can be the most moving. Her emphasis on slow, deliberate creation resonated with me. It inspired me to reconsider my own process and think about giving my work more time to evolve organically. Love’s ability to balance complexity and simplicity through her choice of materials and techniques showed me how technology and art can coexist harmoniously, creating works that truly speak for themselves.
