KINETIC ANOMALIES

I believe our world is complex and nothing is isolated.

The images in this portfolio, based on their complexity, are analogs for the COSMOS. To create the complex lyrics and artifacts necessary to present the themes properly these files were constructed, deconstructed and reconstructed.

The products of this process are ultra high resolution and grand scale files containing an extraordinary amount of information - up to 90 GB.

At the heart of the images are patterns and artifacts, deeply embedded in the lowest layers of the file, that have been lifted out of the files and then heavily manipulated to show multiple, complex moire patterns on a single plane. In many cases I am working with bits of information of less than 5 pixels. 

Conceptual references to this body of work are the bi-morphic forms of nature and the complexity of complicated watch movements, CERN and compositions of classical music. 

This process yields optical experiences that change with changes in color, size, angle and distance - with no changes in the lyrics. The images depict abstracts of the entire COSMOS, if such a thing is possible; galaxies; solar explosions and events; stars and planets. Sequencing is important in telling the stories.

The scale of the images run from 36x48” to extraordinarily large; again, whatever is needed to present the subject properly.

All images are unique. I will print one artist’s proof. The file is then downsized and retired to the archive. This gives the collector something very special in both the imagery and the exclusivity. 

NEW MEDIA

Work in the NEW MEDIA genre is defined by the artist who creates the work. I define NEW MEDIA as maximally experiential.

These pieces provide the owner with the most experiential of NEW MEDIA art - the opportunity to create their own.

These PSD and PSB files are layered with both objects and effects yielding process and imagery which can be manipulated any way the owner sees fit. As with all my work the files are complex and the amount of information is extraordinary - up to 90 GB.

Each piece includes: an ultra high resolution file; and a license to manipulate and to make two prints. Each piece is unique - once sold the artist will print one artist’s proof; the file will then be downsized and retired to the archive.

Each series has multi panel pieces of iconography that is either geometric or abstract. The file you receive is copyrighted by the artist. The language we use to manipulate the file is the ubiquitous Adobe Creative Suite. This encourages collaboration and sharing.

To further the distribution of the buyer’s work we encourage the buyer to create a special purpose website showing the work - we can do this with you. The artist and buyer share attribution.

As with all conceptual art the process is the art. Each participant, including the artist, passes on an unfinished and unresolved piece.
