Shawn Huckins is exploring the new American Frontier: the internet. Taking historical photographs and paintings, he replicates the images and then applies modern day slang and the language of text messages.
He explores the idea of communication and how it is constantly changing. Information that would once have taken weeks to reach their recipient via letter or telegram now takes mere seconds. Would the settlers have tweeted "wtf?!" as they explored the Mid-West?
