Sky Screen presents intricate lithographs and etchings by Robert Game selected from the MacLaren’s collection. Created in the 1970s and 80s, his prints project a vision for a future where nature and technology are enmeshed in a co-evolution.
Game explores this imagined future by combining landscape features with a science-fiction aesthetic. Hills and fields are gridded and abstracted, haybales are cubed into machine-like versions, and skies are projected over expansive voids, suggesting a kind of adaptive coexistence. Other times the images depart entirely into the unfamiliar. Across these variations, Game envisions worlds that are part reality, part invention, where the boundary between the organic and mechanical is constantly shifting.
Sky Screen asks us to envision worlds where technological ambition and natural processes collide, suggesting both the promise and the unpredictability of human-made futures.
