Silas Long’s interior ruin delves into the interplay between technology, anxiety, and modern existence that captures the feeling of navigating life in the digital age. The exhibition invites contemplation of our perception of reality amidst commercial saturation and global instability. Through digital printing techniques, Long’s flattened surfaces create a collage-like effect that muddles the image’s material presence. Their collection of digital clips and textures are indicative of a visual world that the artist explores to interpret the profound impact technology has on the emotional psyche.

Silas Long’s meticulously layered compositions of flattened textures underscore the evolution of art in the digital era, revealing illusions that challenge viewers’ perceptions of dimensional reality. Long is a Cincinnati native now based in Chicago. They are a multidisciplinary artist whose work navigates intersections of visual storytelling, technology, and generational barriers.

interior ruin is part of the 2024 FotoFocus Biennial: backstories. Now in its seventh iteration, the Biennial activates over 100 projects at museums, galleries, universities, and public spaces throughout Greater Cincinnati, Dayton, Columbus, and Northern Kentucky in October 2024.
