Description

This poster advertises the exhibition “Images du Futur,” held in Montreal, Canada, in 1993. The show featured a range of cutting-edge holography, virtual reality, computer-generated cinema, multimedia installations, and interactive sculptures by artists based in New York. The central image is a version of Lillian Schwartz’s digital artwork _Homage to the Statue of Liberty, _dated 1985. Schwartz manipulated an image of the emblematic monument with a computer program, cloaking her in shimmering crystal shapes. On closer inspection, the cascading panels reveal themselves as digitally manipulated stills of two figures ascending a staircase. Schwartz likely produced the image using the early image-editing software Pico, a program she often used in the 1980s.
