Abstract:	This exhibition catalog revisits Caesar Attard's unfinished project from 1985, featuring two sets of etchings with religious themes printed in 1992 and 1996, now digitally reworked in 2024 to engage with contemporary issues like surveillance, technology, and identity. It includes a prologue by Attard reflecting on the evolution of the works in the digital age, a transcribed conversation between Attard, Matthew Attard, and Niki Young exploring themes of erasure, repetition, power, and the intersection of art with emerging technologies, and an epilogue by Francois Zammit discussing how digital mediation transforms physical realities, positioning technology as a modern secular religion. The catalog lists and illustrates the artworks, comparing original etchings to their digital iterations, and provides a biography of the artist.
