The Digital Age has transformed the world through groundbreaking technological advancements. Computers, smartphones, the internet, and artificial intelligence have reshaped how we live—from how we gather information to how we communicate and relate to one another.
While some recall life before technology was embedded into daily routine, some have never known a world without it, putting forth unique challenges in the ways we communicate and relate to each other. In a world so ‘connected’, how is it that we feel so distant?
Said Through Silence meditates on this phenomenon, bringing together the introspective works by four local artists, into direct visual conversation. Touching on themes of home, nature, technology, and abstraction, the exhibited works look inward on what life is like growing and adapting within a rapidly changing world, with a particular focus on our shared home of York Region.
