Scanner art, of Guyton\Walker, Stahl, et. al, assimilated images of a new found visual physicality ala mode. The ice cream weight of objects reproduced in spectacular resolution delivering a “realness” reserved for the plastic world of Advertising and Bouguereau. The eye’s intoxication in overload bordering on psychedelic. As Speier's literal minded paintings juxtapose, this overload of retinal pleasure is a real version of the world’s cartoonification, reality stretched to meet its new digital overlords welcomed, the computer’s vision more real than our own, and everyone stressed, cracks, falling over laughing.
