This exhibition looks at the softest of software: the HUMAN FACTOR. With an eye on the mad rush and the frenetic pace of the fast computer based world in which we now live, the artist presents the body at centre stage.

The figure, representing "The Human Factor", appears as black & white nudes drawn on spackled paper and mounted on black foamcore panels. Small paintings of hands in colour hold the panels together. The isolated figures, drawn on separate sheets, suggest loneliness and alienation.

In another group of works done on window shades, metaphors to the computer windows we peer into and communicate through, the computer appears as a powerful icon representing the new focus in today's world, bearing titles such as 'meditationonlife.com' and "the application of humanity has unexpectedly quit, because of an error of type 2001 occurred. You should save your world in other open applications and restart your life."

These works are a sad reminder that the technology we are so proud of cannot protect us against hate, the human factor we tend to ignore.

Granirer's main concern in developing this group of works comes from the observation that humanity has embarked onto a very fast plane, which, while exciting and full of promise, may well lead it away from itself. However useful technology is, the HUMAN FACTOR will always be with us.
