We are not experiencing today the first great reaction of history to individualiam, we are not experiencing for the first time the preponderance of the masses; bu for the first time a parallel development provides a previously unimaginable and unprecedented support: the development of technology" M.M. Gehrke & Rudolf Arnheim

As video has entered the Art realm with the pioneering work of Nam June Paik, Bill Viola and Gary Hill, today's artists can avail themselves of this new and exciting moving canvas. The paintings and videos of Adde Dulaux Russell display new aesthetics for new technologies. The parallel development of the Internet and the information explosion engendered by it give her work a non static-resonance

The eye trains upon an image such as "I couldn't Figure it Out so I got a Job" and the viewer is confronted with a collision of visual realities. It is as if one portion of a film has been superimposed over another. This playful cutting and redacting of the picture plane shreds and reconstitutes the visual narrative.

"Jeanne" and "Saw Horse" both receive the same treatment as we enter into a mental fun house with perhaps Matta as the architect and Johannes Baader as our guide. Truly the artisthas the viewer right where she wants them, scratching their heads and perhaps doing a double take.

With the work of Adde DuLaux Russell, let the viewer be worned; pay attention or you might miss the next revolution. Perhaps it will occur at a strip mall near you.
