About The Artwork
New Masada is my reimagining of the siege by Roman troops of the ancient fortification in Israel. However, in my version it's technology holdouts rather than Sicarii rebels that are occupying the rock plateau, and it's AI-driven fakes, telemarketing bots, tracking cookies, cyber bullies, and soulless hackers infiltrating our everyday lives. Is it still possible to live anywhere in the world without being subjugated to the malicious or invasive side of modern technology? The subject for this photo was a PC motherboard. The photo was taken by a medium format Hasselblad digital camera and then subtly modified in post-production to appear like a desert and a plateau. Although, other sometime see a farm. A large scale version of this photograph was publicly exhibited at the City of Ottawa's Corridor 45|75 gallery, and was published in PhotoEd magazine (Spring 2022). The limited edition photo was printed on high-end 17" x 22" Hahnemühle archival paper and includes a white border around the image. It has been signed and numbered by the artist, and includes a certificate of authentication.

Christopher Schmitt is a lens-based artist residing in Ottawa, on unceded Anishinaabe territory.

Schmitt’s work examines the idea that perhaps this dark side is not a mirror reflection of our society, but rather a new world entirely. His work helps viewers navigate between abstraction and reality, providing visual clues to this uncertain virtual landscape. Schmitt was the recipient of a City of Ottawa Creation and Production Grant in 2022, an Ontario Arts Council Exhibition Assistance Grant in 2023.
