Rachel Rossin uses both virtual reality and painting to investigate the slippage between the real and the digital. She combines Internet sources like video games and stock computer illustrations with objects from her real life such as a vase of flowers or a childhood drawing. The images in her paintings are further abstracted by computer programmes that twist the inherent meaning of these seductive Internet renderings; which are mostly geared toward garnering clicks and game plays. Rossin often begins by working in a more conventional mode, painting surreal canvases that meld distorted, just-recognizable fragments of landscapes and still lifes with vivid splashes and swirls. Rossin (who is self-taught in coding and game design) then photographs these works and digitally manipulates the imagery to create brief, trippy films that, when viewed with a VR headset, simulate the experience of being immersed in the paintings.
