Lost Nuts and Found Bolts

 As  I continue to explore image making, using technology to morph and bend images, I see a correlation between the visual artists and musicians who use various tools to extent the visual and musical range of their pieces.  In preparing for an exhibition at the Anderson Arts Center, I am using  my "machine" to generate images that provide me with new possibilities in how an image is read, constructed and displayed. Is it a static piece or is it a moving sequence of transitional images in time? or can it be both? The following images are stills from short film pieces, constructed through the"machine" and then further refined through photo editing software. Much the way one would dodge and burn an image while  in the darkroom, or use a number of negatives to create an image.  I am refining and exploring the multiple possibilities of bending and morphing images.   The Name of the Exhibition at the Anderson Arts Center is:  "Unfounded Rumors, Ima...

And the males of a certain color-  Long stuffed but never satisfied with the goods of their plunder and greed,  saw the end of their time approaching.  And so they turned up the volume of their need to control and subjugate all unlike themselves.  Ultimately, they doomed the planet, while searching for a suitable new home somewhere else in the galaxy.  That, after all, was easier  than righting the wrongs done for centuries to millions.  Yet, the smokestacks continued to bellow their message of disregard.

Notations From Gridville 3/11/2021

Today, I learned about the composer Pauline Anna Strom. It is now I realize I want my images to be the primary focus of my work, but now must create musical soundscapes to support the images. Starting a new chapter. Float, 2-21-21

Return to the Present - Notations from Gridville 2/4/2021 Pushing the limits of of what image making is. An attraction to process and pushing boundaries, Using technology the same way a musician uses pedals for making and manipulating sound, sustain, velocity, etc.   Yet again, one must discover and process ways of conceptualizing and  constructing an image.  A virtual collage of sorts.       Blast Zone - Notations from Gridville 2/9/2021 The next step is to build tools to combine sound, filters and imagery. Thanks to Max and now a sound processing system to further manipulate images in time.
