Adam Connelly

Adam Connelly is an American artist and designer. His work examines where the borders of the digital and the analog world meet, and how social, cultural, and ideological trends are shaped by technology and art.

Taking inspiration from both the tradition of the painted nude and popular pornography, his work addresses the role that porn has in advancing technology and the subsequent impact on culture and ideology.
Drawing its subjects from the vast pool of freely-available Internet porn, his work delves into issues of public and private identity, privacy, censorship, information sharing, and information awareness.

These paintings are like pixelated digital images, try looking at them from a distance or through squinted eyes.
