Bit Rot, a solo exhibition by Bob Bicknell-Knight, was on at Broadway Studio and Gallery, Letchworth, England, running February 28 to July 31.
Taking its title from the decay of data’s integrity due to its storage media deteriorating over time, the show explores this idea through video, hyperreal paintings depicting game environments and sculptural objects of relics reclaimed by nature. As stated in the press release, these sculptures “are real world objects that have been overwhelmed by artificial interventions, from faux grass to plastic flowers, mimicking the digital nature displayed within the game world.”**
