It takes a moment for reality to crystallise in full sensory capacity as one turns off their screen. The more our virtual and offline lives interlace, the more of a Pavlovian response we develop to the digital. The screen’s incessant attraction punctuates our visual perception, hooking us with instant gratification, and holding our focus in flux: neither here nor there. Represented by a warm brightness is the “there” we are trained to reach for, peeking through the pixelated curtain of moiré interference drizzling over the canvas’ flatness.

"Djuro’s work at first seems a bright and bold venture into a digital world of computer graphics. But the soft colours hide a harder reality. Under their surface is a different world – a manipulative and seductive place of traps and fault lines, disruptive, dangerous and overwhelming. She is interested in the very contemporary tension between the real and virtual worlds, and how our dependence on ever more powerful technology creates confusion between the two."
