(Exponential Functions 154)

Content: In Sodeoka’s “Exponential Function: 154”, the exponents of old-school graphic arts — think Technicolor circular artifacts, gradient TV static stripes — rapidly unfurl as a moving, quotable history of geometric shapes and colors. Taking Wire’s 154 album cover artwork as an inspiration, the recurring motif of a DNA double helix twist references ranging from the geometric abstraction of Bridget Riley, Josef Albers and Frank Stella to the playful and irreverent British post-punk music packaging of Barney Bubbles and Peter Saville. Ultimately, it's acid flashbacks from a specific pivotal continuum in visual culture, processed through Sodeoka's distinctive feedback complexity.
