At the Royal Ontario Museum, Elias Sime’s large-scale canvases using recycled computer parts consider our relationships with technology, each other and the planet
Ethiopian artist Elias Sime has said his work is not about recycling – a statement that might sound puzzling or deliberately provocative if you are looking at his art.
Now showing at the Royal Ontario Museum, these are works that are easy to describe yet must be seen in person to be believed.But Sime’s statement is not a misdirection but rather some gentle prodding for the viewer to think further about the implications of his materials.
So these fabulous canvases consider our relationship with technology, with each other and with the planet. , one work from the ROM’s own collection, the motherboards become a miniature city while a grid of thin coloured wire carefully coiled into squares suggest the fields beyond. In, the motherboards could be read as a coastal city while green circuit boards would represent the ocean.
