Minute 24, Episode 3 of Ways of Something
Minute 24, Episode 3 of Ways of Something, a networked remake of John Berger’s Ways of Seeing, curated and compiled by Lorna Mills, 2016 (Collection of the Whitney Museum of American Art)

Canadian artist, Lorna Mills has actively exhibited her work in both solo and group exhibitions since the early 1990's. Her practice has included obsessive Ilfochrome printing, obsessive painting, obsessive super 8 film & video, and obsessive on-line animated GIFs incorporated into restrained off-line installation work. Past exhibitions include “Dreamlands” at the Whitney Museum, NY, “Yellowwhirlaway” at the Museum of the Moving Image, NY, “The Great Code” at Transfer Gallery, NY and, currently, “Sea Change” at the Pérez Art Museum Miami.

She curated “Ways of Something”, a remake of the 1972 John Berger documentary “Ways of Seeing” episodes one through four, featuring over 115 networked artists and WellNow.wtf, a sprawling netart project co-curated with Faith Holland and Wade Wallerstein.

Her Gif collages have recently been included in PHAIDON's “Vitamin C+ Collage in Contemporary Art”, “Digital Art” (2023 edition) by Christiane Paul and Taschen’s “On NFTs” edited by Robert Alice.
