Lee Wells speaks to systems of power and control in society. Not only is this body of work a critique of structure but also a critique and analysis of structural situations. Situations are fabricated constructions enabling the artist/viewer/user to create an alternate critical definition in antithesis to cultural norms. Thus redefining contemporary as that which is in a continuous state of flux yet always referencing the past. Creating proximities of a relationship verses line of site, focus is relative to proximity. A state of saturation creating a temporary effect of deconstruction. Showing the emptiness of the spectacle. It therefore is about the missing information in combination with the disinformation creating what could be called the "Digital Blur."
