Maxwell Weiner is currently a senior at Buffalo State College majoring in Graphic Design and minoring in photography. His thesis project, Fuse: The Merge of Past & Present, will be on view at CEPA Gallery.
Fuse emerged from the intersection of past and present. This work deliberately contrasts contemporary digital techniques and software with analog technology, breathing new life into often forgotten tools that have become technological artifacts. Through this blending, Weiner establishes new workflows for himself that center around honoring traditional methods while embracing modern capabilities. This work not only acknowledges our technologies heritage but also demonstrates how far we’ve advanced, examining what’s possible when old meets new.
