Sullivan+Strumpf is pleased to announce In morning light, an exhibition by Australian artist Grant Stevens, opening at their Gadigal/Sydney gallery Thursday July 23 until Saturday August 15, 2026.

Working primarily with computer-generated video, photography and installation, Stevens’s art practice explores the various ways that dominant symbolic conventions, mobilised through digital technologies, mediate our inner worlds and social realities.

At the centre of his current practice are questions about how the algorithmic organisation of visual culture impacts personal and collective hopes for the future.

In In morning light he presents a screen-based text and sound work that depicts an endlessly generating narrative in real-time, accompanied by a series of screen prints on paper, that explore how the virtual and natural increasingly shape each other.

For In morning light, Stevens has created an ever-evolving screen-based artwork that uses a custom built language system to algorithmically generate text in real time.

Integrating English grammatical conventions and probabilities to determine sentence structures, the artwork produces an endless narrative centred on reflections of the natural world. As the narrative unfolds word by word on screen, an emotive soundtrack also generates algorithmically.

This moving image work is presented alongside a new series of screenprints on paper that translate his virtual imagery and environments into physical form.

Stevens screen-printing project uses analogue processes to materialise digital images captured by a custom-built AI camera in a 3D virtual environment.

Together, the series combines well-established manual printmaking processes with contemporary video game production techniques.
