Pretty For Protocol: Between the Proxies is the first solo exhibition from artist Alex 

Curci. Here, he explores elements of ambiguity while providing partial traces of 

suggested forms. These forms speak not only to the bodily organic tone that surfaces 

through Curci's work, but are treated with a technical precision which resonates with 

broader discourse. His fascination with technology's seamless integration within our 

lives triggers a new examination into the parallel landscape that is our continuous 

growing streams of networks and digital infrastructure. Through the building of layers 

and gestural drawing, his work creates an invitation to navigate the folds between these 

mysterious and hidden spaces.

 

Alex Curci received his BFA from York University where he majored in Visual Arts. He 

currently lives within the GTA and continues to explore his studio practice through 

drawing, painting, and installation work. His curiosity and interest in technology has 

become an ongoing investigation into exploring the vast depths of computer systems 

and networks. His work examines the wired infrastructure needed to support our mobile 

devices and communications, bringing recognition to the enormity of its physical 

presences. He attempts to uncover these networked systems while mapping and 

unveiling their hidden layers amongst the virtual and digital realm.
