Artist Talk with Orejarena & Stein moderated by Jessica D. Brier, Curator of Photography at the Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center at Vassar College. 

Join us for a conversation between exhibiting photographic duo Orejarena & Stein and curator Jessica D. Brier where they will discuss the artists' influences, their new book, and the nature of their traveling exhibition, American Glitch. 

"What does it mean when the same image, in varied forms, is circulating on the Internet? Sometimes, it's the same exact photograph being reposted -- you can see the pixels getting larger and larger showing the life the image has had on the internet. Other times, it's the same location being revisited by hundreds of people, showing all of our different, or similar, interpretations alongside posts on social media threads like Tumbler, or websites like Atlas Obscura with discussions of the uncanny. There are thousands of photos being made every day, that's the beauty of photography, and this project is about the flood of images in conversation with each other. We're searching for the intersections of the personal, and collective. This intersection is powerful, and full of its own type of hope."
