process
I start
with a basic concept that I would like to explore. 'Urban Growth'
is inspired by satellite photos and fractal simulations of city
morphology. Like all art activities, the layering is a non-linear
process. The structure of the piece has a tendency to self-organize
at some point in a way that I never can foresee. The interaction
of the different layers of code begins to dictate how the final
piece will evolve. Finally, the color is used to enhance the
depth of the piece and as a way to bring about a sense of light.
The differentiation of short wavelength color (red) and long
wavelength color (blue) is used by the anaglyph 3d glasses to
create depth.
The first panel is called the inspiration panel. It consists
of nine images of satellite photos and screen captures of programs
that I use to create the final artwork. By juxtaposing the screen
captures to photos that are implied in the artwork, I hope to
create a sense of the dialogue of the different influences that
goes into my work. The second panel hanging on the right side
of the artwork is called the deconstruction panel. It shows
in nine steps the layering of the image from back to top. This
allows the viewer to see how the back layers influence the front
layers.. |
