The Hen House presents new digital work by Will Penny opening March 6th. PLAYTHINGS will be on view at The Hen House located at The Stables (7 Rathborne Dr.) through March 22nd and features a series of interactive, sculptural and video-based installations. The show focuses on technology as a medium and is used to explore the dissonance between digital structures and physical inputs. Parameter, coding and conditions are represented by fantasy, opticality and absurdity as a means to question the nature of mediated experience within spaces, both social and digital.

Gallery hours are Friday through Sunday from noon-5PM. A reception will be held on Friday, March 13th, from 6-9PM. All programming is free and open to the public.

About the Artist:

Will Penny (b. 1984) was raised in Southern Ontario and currently resides in Savannah, GA. He received a diploma in Fine Art from Fanshawe College in London, Ontario and a BFA and MFA in Painting from The Savannah College of Art and Design, wheer he currently serves as a Professor of Digital Communication.

Penny’s artworks dissolve the traditional boundaries of art and design. He explores tensions between the tangible space a painting inhabits, the impact of digital technology on fabricated forms and illusionistic environments. By creating systems of interactivity with digital technologies, his art confronts the way information is generated, transmitted and received.

He has exhibited in the United States and Canada.
