Morgan Sims, Palisade, 2012
Morgan Sims' Palisade, presented by Heaven Gallery, was
an immediate MDW stand-out. As a designer and artist working in
technology, I was captivated by its glow. Historically, a
"palisade" is a wooden wall used as a defensive structure by the ancient
Greeks and Romans. I immediately correlated this modern day palisade with our mobile screens, and how they can act as defense mechanisms from
others. The colors in "Palisade" are reminiscent of the RGB used in LCD
screens, the same screens that absorb our attention, playing defense against human interaction.
