The exhibition will describe the changes in the art landscape after the intervention of new technologies that today’s art needs to face in such a big historical context; the changes in the way and method of reading images in the virtual digital age and the changes in art strategies after the blurring of technological goals. At the same time, due to the advancement of technology and changes in consumption patterns, artists have a strong demand for new ways of experiencing art.
“P. Seth Thompson, another artist familiar to Atlanta audiences, takes a markedly different direction in his photographic contributions to Medium. Veering away from the somber tone of Dowda’s work and straight into American pop culture, Thompson’s signature glitchy technicolor images depict the character Carol Anne Freeling from the 1982 film Poltergeist, as well as a scene from television coverage of 18-month-old Jessica McClure being trapped in a well in her aunt’s backyard in October 1987. The Poltergeist image is a funny but apt inclusion in Medium, a brightly sour piece of candy amidst a sometimes-heavy meal, and a reminder of ghost stories’ campy genre descendants.”

"Racecar" reflects the paradox of time—forward-moving yet cyclical, linear yet trapped in endless repetition. Through painting, sculpture, and ephemeral imagery, the exhibition explores entanglement, mourning, and the disorienting collapse of past and present. Truth and illusion merge in a space where endings are only new beginnings.
“The Self-Made Man (Christopher Reeve as Clark Kent as Superman)” was featured in Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles (Sept. 2015). This work explores identity, transformation, and mythmaking, using cosmic imagery and digital abstraction to reimagine Superman as both an omnipotent figure and a fragile construct.
PORTALISM exhibits “new moves” in artmaking by each Walthall Artist Fellow. Ranging from photography to sculpture to video to drawing to installation to participatory performance to dance, the Fellows’ individual contributions to this exhibit are the result of a year of focused investigating and reimagining of her/his personal journey as an artist. MOCA GA Director Annette Cone-Skelton stated “the partnership between MOCA GA and WonderRoot has created an exciting exhibition highlighting a variety of artists and mediums. We truly look forward to the new work and discoveries emerging from the Walthall Fellows each year.”
