Remnants
pigmented inkjet prints on metallic paper w/ varnish

With volumes of information streaming by we have limited need or ability to consume more than a fragment of what is available online.  This work compiles the remnants of information we collect in the cyber world into a visual capture of the virtual experience. The abstracted result is a composite of a single day's news distilled into shapes, colors and form - void of all but  the essence of information.

an exaggeration of data
new digital works

at CoCA

"How does an artist cope with information overload?

In Stephen Rock's case, he does it by marshaling the myriad
incoming digital signals on his computer into an overall rhythmic shape,
in much the same way that a composer wields thousands of musical notes into a symphony.

....Rock may have been overwhelmed by cyber-noise, but he's put his own special stamp on it."

Michael Upchurch, Seattle Times

ArtsWest Unplugged Challenge
Stephen Rock's contributions, "An Exaggeration of Data"(above) and "Failed Silence," ... both are marvelous meditations on information overload in which website pages, toolbars and logos are digitally "shredded" into long strips and packed with a bar code intensity into a single symphonic image.
Michael Upchurch, Seattle Times arts writer
