In this two-artist show, surreal digital portraits comment on selfie culture, while sculptures and lenticular photos examine the body. Gagliardi trained as a graphic designer. Her paintings are created on a computer and printed out in ink on vinyl, with transparent gel applied by hand. Scherer uses sculpture, photographs, and collage to meditate on the self and celebrity culture. Forbes has called Gagliardi "a digital Dali" and said Scherer "deconstructs the illusion of intimacy between 'audience' and 'celebrity', the permeable boundaries between social networks, the media and every-day life and questions about gender."
