myplasticheart is excited to announce Unnatural Selection, a show featuring new works by Lou Pimentel & Leontine Greenberg, opening Friday, June 29 from 6-9pm, and running until July 29. In this exhibit, each artist has taken his and her spin on the idea of the theme, in which nature adapts to the technology of today. Leontine takes the perspective of nature fighting back by re-adapting the very tech that is meant to control it. Lou’s creatures decided that in this tech-heavy world, they were in need of an upgrade, and took it upon themselves, rather than evolution, to do the work.

from Leontine:
“In our built environment, humans typically try to eradicate or control nature. These paintings explore what happens when nature fights back, absorbing and re-adapting the technology meant to contain it. In this world, nature tends to have a sense of humor and a genuine fondness for engineering.”

from Lou:
” These creatures, took matters into their own hands. Using found objects, they created makeshift versions of things they felt would give them an advantage in today’s world. Some of the changes are purely for aesthetic purposes. Attracting a mate, and procreating is important for the continuation of a species. BUT, some of the other improvements are much more radical, like using satellite technology to find food and migration patterns. We’ve been using Google maps for years, and it is about time the animal kingdom got on board.”
