Since the beginning of their career together in 1992, Aziz + Cucher have worked in a variety of media including digital imaging, sculpture, animation, and video-installation. Their work has been marked by a distinctive concern regarding technology and its impact on the human body and on consciousness. In the “Scenapse” series they have reclaimed some elements of photographic representation and its power to capture and maintain the specificity of the world. In their work they have held a long conversation between the painterly and the photographic. This dynamic relationship between these two mediums tipped decisively towards the painterly in later works like “Synaptic Bliss”(2003-4), where in an effort to represent a mode of perception signed by digital technology and science, they let go of photographic realism and opted for a complex and multilayered flatness that veered towards abstraction and where color and line were the main expressive elements.
